Re: 48 Custom 8 (356 cubic inch) tune up parts

Important to know if you engine has 10mm spark plugs as it did originally, or if it has been converted to 14mm either by having been drilled and rethreaded, or by a replacement cylinder head. Good plugs readily available at any good parts store in either case.
Kanter sells complete tune-up kits, I'm sure Max Merrit does as well. But all of the components are available individually from better local auto parts stores but you may have to help a bit with part numbers. The part numbers for points, condensor, cap & rotor have been posted here many times. If you browse a bit you'll find it or perhaps someone with a bit more time will repeat it for you. The current points will differ slightly in the mounting from the OEM points but will work just fine.
Lovely cars, those 48 Custom 8s, had one for many years (pix below).
