Stunning Restoraton Aus...I too am often guilty of hitting the buff for hours lols. Great you found that manual. Points gap would not have been an issue since its running Std Wipac pretty sure my cover plate actually has it written. Sorry cant help with the parts you need as ive only seen this engine once before. I dont know of any hurricane enthusiests page or group,but you need to try and find others that are into these engines as it will help greatly with parts. Troll some of the old marine sites and you may find some info:) Anyways its coming along beautifully and im a little envious I dont have one lols:)
