Nice info here Andre.
At Sqdancerlynn's suggestion I ordered these parts...
"As far as replacing the stock caps 2@ NGK XB05f & VB05f"
The XB05F's are a nice fit on the two outer plugs, but the 105 degree angle of the VB05F caps are tighter than the OE caps, that are closer to 130 degrees or so. I find it a little difficult to route the spark plug wire without grounding the high tension wire to the side of the head.
No major biggie but worth mentioning.Ed
To measure is to know.

Ed,
I use the LB10F on the outside and the SB10F on the inside as those are easily available here. I did try the XD10F for the inside, but also found them too tight. If one uses the longer plug caps on the outside they are easier damaged and look like cat whiskers!
Although we do not have AM radio stations around here, all FM, the 1k and 5k types which are preferable in my humble opinion are not so readily available here.
Its quite amazing how these inexpensive components are much overlooked and the cause of many headaches. Some people even tape them up instead of replacing!
