How about a format: ? (with no "narrative")

Question 1 - blah blah blah
Q2 - different stuff
Q3 - even more

that way we can say
Q1 - change oil
Q2 - tighten whatever
Q3 etc. etc.

FWIW

Question 1: Did all the Roadsters come with a front swaybar?
Question 2: Would anyone actually want my old swaybar?
Question 3: What would it be worth selling for?
Question 4: Am I doing it right?

1. The 66 and laterdid. Not sure about earlier.
2. Probably not
3. Not much. Maybe ten bucks
4. Sure. Keeps the noise down, doesnt it?

1 Yes, they all have sway bars.
2 Probably not, unless it’s a comp bar, in which case use it!
3 I tried selling my old one for $10 and got no bites a while back
4 Yes!

#1 haha
#2 haha
#3 hahah
#4 hahahaha lol haha

well I guess I pit this here so here's the results so far
#1 looked under master and found a leak here with this screw .
looked way better inside cab at foot pedal firewall area because still micro bubbles after pumping it showing up .
found greese there hiding behind all the insolation foil stuff I put in over summer . so
ordered a new to be her Saturday .(master for clutch).
I think I fixed distributor drop-in now but waiting till morning to check advancement on new plate all set and ready . breaks haven't been looked at again today .. will try to tomorrow .. the end two steps forward today

Lorna, I am pretty sure that the screw in your pic is supposed to have a fiber washer under it to seal it. If I had gotten a little more sleep last night I would run down to my shop and take a look at the MC out of my '67, but since I didn't I am done for today. It is after 6:00 here now.

what causes this razor cut looking thing if I never took a razor to it ? (sparkplug wires)

Lorna - abrasion - most likely

do they let spark out ?

Electrical tape or RTV it. As long as it's not in close proximity to any metal that could cause it to ground you're fine.

haha . no seriously .. I see these allot and it's odd because you do have a blade to them but it's on most of them ,l and I'm not that sloppy with a razor ,,also , some will be in a spot that isn't rubbing on anything to cause that . ya know . so I've always wondered where they really come from . even that picture is in an odd spot to be an abrasion, no ? ... that's all . odd . I've used a spray bottle before and nothing can't ever see what I'm supposed to but there's missing because oh man , one day I was using break cleaner or something to shoot off the oil in the motor moved around to passenger side and tick tick tick fooom fireball and haha little oil fires left burning like tiki torches not very easy to put out I didn't want to use my fire extinguisher already lol . seriously , so I snuffed and snuffed for a long 15-20 seconds and got them out .. haha what two fires now ? I've only caught my motor on fire twice .. anyway yeah ,, . I think it shot out a spark no ? haha ..I've got new wires But now these
notches have appeared and they were on my last set too ... this is why I'm asking more abiut it .. if it can be anything, or a sign of something, or something .. I don't want to catch my motor on fire again if possible .. haha. no kidding .. just never run the car and decide to spray while it's worming up or something .. .very bad ... . very bad .. haha poor rumble ..he's a trooper

ok . that runs more in line with what is there .. how do they " not touch anything ? even when they're short as can be they will run into each other no ? the plastic things get lost easy .very easy . ugh
