Yah scary as it sounds. I finally changed my plugs to Champions, but the ones Mike recommended. I had already changed my wires and the po said the plugs were newer. Couldn't be more wrong. Not only were 1/2 of them almost seized but the gap was toward .50 as the electrodes had worn down. Holy crap what a difference. Valuable lesson learned, you need to change the plugs when you change your wires, otherwise it's like changing a flat tire with an almost flat spare. Thanks for the most logical advice to a not so logical person Danny.

 

Actually I am a much happier person and a kinder, gentler person with MEANDEROVER running so well now. And a Gemini, as well as a Cracker Redneck from Georgia, and those are my good qualities.

You should meet my Rowdy Friends. They some real characters.

 

Lol. Yah I was a bit nervous when firing up but when the slight and I do mean very slight hesitation was gone and the power felt like it was a huge increase, I'm a happy man today. Even if I get my a** handed to me today in fantasy football.

 

If you gap your new plugs on the low side you have more room for "wear and tear", so if you gap them at the .32" instead of the .38" they will last longer.
As they wear the gap gets bigger and eventually it will be to far out of spec and they will need to be replaced or regapped.

 

Too late on that, gapped at .37-.38. Don't mind if I have to change them at 36k, put anti-seize on the threads so should change out easier next time.

 

This is my rule of thumb, plugs every 30k, plugs and wires every 60k.
Easy peezy.

 

Yep cheap insurance.

 

I gapped mine at .040 for a bigger spark, might be a little harder on the coils but it runs pretty strong.

 

Would that also be a plus for your altitude?
