I dunno, NAPA crossed them to a current Champion unit. I'll text you a pic of the plug box tomorrow. I bought an extra-deep 7/8ths socket. The original Autolite plugs are discontinued, with no replacement number, which is why I saved them. They were painted green, so they came with the engine. That oil filter was a common Ford 1515 oil filter, as well. I replaced it because it was leaking. It starts like a charm now, though.

Do you know where the low oil pressure switch is? it doesn't seem to be external. I thought I might look into wiring a momentary by-pass switch. That unit is sure to see heavy use at Sublette next year, and you and I won't always be there. I don't want them burning the starter out of it.
