I was thinking the same thing or I have a buddy that can copy the SB K-member mounting positions this way avoiding lengthy K-Member swap. Either way let me know what outcome is Thanks

So you prefer the Autolite plug for the Iron head? In terms of pinging it was better than NGK or Champion? This is interesting because at around 9.5 Static, 8.2 Dynamic with Iron heads and Manifolds it starts rattling. I'm sure many have that issue with Manifolds especially, Thanks for the info...
