Pulled plugs to check gap. All set at .025 so opened them to.028 and she runs better!


Did the gaps shrink? From what I know a larger gap (to a point) will provide a greater spark. Runs better is always a good thing

I pulled the engine from another car and never checked them. They are bosch which were supposed to be pre set.

Got a chance to do a sunset drive to the top of a local mountain. First real chance to test the newly installed heat exchangers as it was a bit crispy today. The cabin of the car was warmer than it ever has been.

very nice!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) i have had mine disconnected until i knew for sure my push rod tube and oil cooler seals were leak free after reinstalling new seals on this motor in the spring, now that cooler weather is upon us its time to get those all back in. Its nice having some heat and amazing how much there is even with the stock set up . Enjoy, that is a beautiful car!

Not completely 914, but getting all my crap out of the way so we can have a new concrete slab poured next week. Happiness is a smooth concrete floor in the car shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Reduced the image size and pixel density.

Send the pics to yourself via email and make sure to set the image size to medium. Save the email pictures and upload.

BTW. That looks like a Challenger lift, with the hoist attachment. Do you like the hoist attachment?

Gaps can get closed up in shipping. I have seen them almost touching. I can't remember who shipped them tubes on the end to prevent that.
