My '32 Light Eight is missing the assembly that houses the spark plug wires on top of the engine, also called the "motor ignition high tension cable tube assembly". I purchased a replacement, but found that the mounting tabs are in the wrong location for this engine. The tabs should be 19" apart. On the unit I found, they are 21 1/2" apart, with an overall length of 27" and height of 2" (not including tabs). Could this be to a Super 8?

Does someone have a proper assembly available? If not, is this a correct unit if I relocate the tabs to the proper locations (I would need to know the measurement from each end to the center of each tab)?

Mark, perhaps you should talk to or visit John Kefalonitis, he's not far from you (Blairstown) and also has an extremely original Light Eight sedan.
