Don't bother with the plugs, throw them in the trash and get some regular spark plugs, Bosch or NGK. These cars don't really like the fine electrode plugs.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Standard Bosch copper plugs are the way to go. |

I've got some on order with the other ignition stuff from pelican. I'm trying to figure out why one cylinder isn't firing until the new stuff comes in.

Plug wire is not connected inside the phenolic plug adapter. or the solid core wire has begun arcing enough to burn the connection. Get rid of those plugs which look pretty rich by the way. and get some Magnecore wires. Best investment I ever made to the car beside them white dots.

Cheers to yellow cars with white dots! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) I'm changing plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil as soon as the parts come in. |
