Still looking good.

Set the valve clearance. Intake was tight, exhaust was very tight as I've come to expect. Put both to .1mm (approx .005").

Popped in the NGK; it was pre-gapped at .026 so I left it there. The old plug wasn't bad.

Here's the coffee filter I cleaned out the oilscreen over before. Two small bits in there:

The vacuum and fuel lines were of the expected quality and started to crack; they've since been replaced with silicone (heavy) and tygon respectively.

Part of the original vacuum line routing was poor and pulled on the (manifold?) between the topmounted air filter box and the carb until the rubber split:

Any ideas what that manifold thing is really called?
