Is there a special fuel filter for the gravity fed fuel system or will a conventional filter do the trick? What about adapters for modern spark plugs. Trying to get this baby to run more smoothly.
Thanks guys

Any inline fuel filter should work ok. As for plugs, if you don't want to use Champion X plugs at about $25 a piece, Autolight makes a modern replacement. I forget the number. As to getting it running smoothly, they didn't really run smoothly when new.

Well I meant as smooth as possible,Ha. Some trash in the gas has given me fits.

Go by your motorcycle dealer, and pick up a clear plastic filter with a screen inside. Gravity does not want any restriction, and these work great--besides, you can see the junk it collect. Good T'ing. Tim Eyssen

Hey, T in Dixie. A 'T' can in fact run very smoothly. First, leave the plugs alone; i.e. just clean and gap properly. Most important however is to properly check your coils and make sure they are in good working order, and clean and adjust the points while your at it. Secondly, make sure your mag is putting out properly too. And, of course check the condition of your timer, not only for improper or too much wear, but also for cleanliness. Buy yourself a favor and buy a Dyke's and/or a reprint of a Ford shop manual. Good luck; oldiron

Thanks...manual is first on my list. Just glad it is running as smoothly as it is...want better.
