Peter C has some original Bumble bee ignition wire. I believe it is
copper core.
Also 8mm wires do not fit side entry caps unless you shave the wires
down to 7mm. Or lots of force. (BTDT)
Paint chip... Mix up a small amount of paint and hardener.
dab it on the chip with a small brush or Q tip. give it 3 or 4 coats and
build it up higher then the existing paint.
Wet sand the spot WITH A SANDING BLOCK, resist the urge to use sandpaper
and your hand, use a block. I would say start with 600 grit then hit it
with 1200 or 1500 then buff with a bit of compound.
I do it all the time and only you will know it was touched up.
