As for the timing cover seal I would spray it down with pb-blaster or something similar. It will pop out, its just a really tight fit

There is a local smiley's here that I get mine from. They sell a lot of dirt track parts and apparently Chevy guys use those to repair the block when they mess up the threads for headnote. So they keep them in stock.

My wife likes my spool and blow-off valve.
the threads on a sparkplug are not 5/8-11...that is just a bad idea anyway..why not go to the hardware store and get the right thing for a dollar a piece...

ACE Hardware, right in the hardware trays. Again, only cost like a buck each.
Might be a good idea to pickup a 5/8-11 tap or bolt, too. Those threads are most likely all carboned up and need to be cleaned before ya go screwing the plug in. Go easy and keep it soaked with some lube or carb cleaner.
