I've heard they are brighter, but only inline with the bulb/led. As LED's are much more directional you end up with brighter spots rather than brighter/larger light area. If that makes sense. Any pics to compare?
I loves my grooves!
I know what you mean, but no, these lights don't have that problem. Here's a picture with them all on, straight on.

I try to keep my car as original as possible, but after installing LEDs, I would never go back to incandescent bulbs. There are too many advantages for the LEDs.

Pulled out my registration to send with an application to insure it with Grundy.
Seriously, way better rates than American Collector or Hagerty with the same coverage.

Just got a quote with Grundy. The same coverage through Grundy went from $250 to $163 compared to Heacock Classic. I know who I'll be switching to. Thanks for the tip!

Lining up spark plug wires for replacement.
Can someone confirm the recommended cylinder number order for plug wires in terms of length (shortest to longest) is:
4, 1, 2, 5, 6, 3
?
(This is the order the originals were in my car, from shortest to longest).
Thx.

That definitely helps, Domi, thanks!
I think the plug wires (and fuel hoses for that matter) are not so generous in their lengths to give much extra slack if you don't route them properly. This diagram will certainly help me with that. There is a similar pattern atop the fuel distributor it seems as well to get the CPR lines from the RH side of the distributor back over to the LH side where the CPR is located.
I'd still like to know whether the lengths I had put in order make sense. Some of the wires are considerably shorter than others (#4 compared to #6 for example) but some of them are not very different (#2 and #5 for example).
