Quite a bit of rust inside my plug wires. Are there any I can find off the shelf at a normal auto parts store?
Edit: I would guess a set for a later Buick straight 8 should be pretty close..

Buick and Pontiac had straight 8s through 1952 for Buick and maybe 1954 for Pontiac. Still a long time ago. The flathead Pontiac 8 looked very much like the junior Packard 8.

It runs! Quite well actually. The engine is super smooth and quiet. Oil pressure was about 25psi.
I ran it 4-5 times for only maybe 2 minutes total. Hard to keep it going with starter fluid, and the smoke rolling off the engine was incredible! It was pretty awesome. I should have setup some cameras and filmed it better. Attach file:  View recent photos (1).jpg (48.83 KB)
