Brian, I have fixed most of the limit switches I have removed. I use a 1/16 inch bit to drill out old wire and careful not to go too deep. I then silver solder (clipped back a little) the wires. I don't like the wire Packard used. It seems too stiff. I am going to try a substitute wire but keep the last eight inches or so with the Douglass connectors.
The leaking plug is pass side at rear of block. We are taking engine out for painting, etc.
I contacted Daytona Carb - they will restore the two carbs for $750.00 - a little rich for my blood. I have one brand new bowl and will use that on the front carb. Rebuild kits are $50.00 + $5.00 shipping.
