I presume you mean 500mL un-thinned as it normally comes from a apint supplier,(thins 50/50%) ... If so yes plenty enough.

My experience on cars before individual coil packs arrived was that many used resistor caps and resistor plugs without problems with one coil on 4 & 6 cylinder engines so it's a new thing for me to consider it.

I ran resistor plugs and caps for years and didn't have a problem. I think DSS sells the R plugs for the 500. But I must admit I now use non R plugs.
My 71 500 came with 7.5k plug caps from new I believe.

I've not experienced the purported problems that's often attributed to doing this either.

Often given out as a "No no" but without substantiated evidence to prove there's inherent problem by doing so.

I'd run them Ted, then you'll get at least personal experience of this with your own setup.

The worst oil smell I've experienced has been with car diff oil.

Decided on a close candy match (or maybe not) to the brown.
But haven't yet got the paint for the black sides.
Any suggestions appreciated for quality black aerosols for this?
Will use the SprayMax lacquer on top.
Honda NH1 is the black.

A great tip Ted; thanks. I used the handle of our patio broom, banged 2 panel pins into it about 5mm apart, cut the heads off and dropped it down the tube. With one nail either side of the roll pin in the damper, the fork leg in the vise and the head of the broom stopping rotation I got it out no trouble. I have discovered that ancient fork oil smells not unlike sewage too. Onwards to the next challenge.

When I removed mine I used a cordless Impact tool to undo the hex bolt. I did not encounter the turning problem if your is turning sounds as if it should undo with a bit of wedging.

Now thats nice, I will have to show that to the boss, but she would probably eat them herself.
