Obvious/dumb/insulting question: IIRC the rubbers are 'handed;' are they
both wrong the same way?
To tell you the truth, your 60YO rubbers look pretty good. I'd be
tempted to reuse them; the contemporary aftermarket ones aren't quality,
obviously. I've seen them start to delaminate and/or sag almost
immediately. Because they sag, I think it's best to adjust the gap when
they're installed with the engine. I got a bunch of fender washers and
cut slots in them so they could slide past the stud.
