OK guys,
Question #2 on prepping our 88 NA getting it ready for the 24 hours of Lemons.
The plate that runs down the center of the engine that the plug wires fir into. anyone know why thats there? we want to eliminate it to make servicing/ diagnosing plug isssues during a race easier. So whats that plate there for?

And those huge bimetal plugs that hold it in place, we have to put those back in the engine to close off those openings - but anyone know why those things are so huge and "overengineered"

Thanks for the help guys
