Looks like an extra set of spark plugs, a popular 1950's "speed" detail: a set of "cold" plugs or a set of "hot" plugs at the ready.

Does this look like a chopped down stock oil bath air filter or is just the angle of the photo?

doesn't seem like a good idea cantilevering the whole air filter as well as the weight of the oil off the neck of the 32 PBIC  |
