Did you also order new rear tires? If not you better, you'll need them.

Took me a while to find some here, but I found a store that sold race gas that carried VP M1.

given the problems with plug quality these days, I think I would put some NGK Ur-5s in it gapped to 0.032-0.035" and call it good

I dont want the control box out in the open, I was going to fab up a plate and mount it where the ash tray is. Dont look like the cable is long enough, is it just computer cable? if so can I just get get an adapter/coupler and extent it?

I would go with a non projected tip plug. I used NGK UR-5's for many years. My Autolite Race plugs look much better when reading them. I run high boost and spray alot of alcohol.(Dual Nozzel)
