I am going to endeavor to get my '61 aka 'Gertrude' up to snuff this spring and summer but I want quality parts. I will need a cap and rotor, plug wires, plugs, oil bath filter, air filter, etc...
Thanks!

If you haven't already, you might talk to them about it. Might have to order it in but they might have access to what you want. I've done that for points and cap before.

I understand that many components will be of foreign manufacture. I just want to buy good parts, so many parts I see now are half the strength of what I am replacing.

Explain your desire to have an American Made product and see if they can help.ðŸ›
