Guys,

I have seen a few things about plug wires on here and I hate to spend a hundred dollars on a set of plug wires like the Magnecors cost. I saw Spike reccommend the Kingsbourne, which I was not familar with so i did a search on them

Turns out they have 8mm for less than 35 bucks. I may just buy a set of those to see if they improve things.

I am getting some random codes lately. Some dfyas, it runs fine, other times it doesn't.

Perplexing beast.

I was wondering with my recent O2 sensor change and the amount of soot present, can you remove a plug and squirt something in to help clean it out some. I am somewhat reluctant to do the Seafoam Injection. Just don't like that idea at all.

Can fouled plugs be cleaned?

I will pull my new plugs soon just to see what condition they are in.

Changing them was a little bit of a hassle since the old ones were 13/16 and the new ones were 5/8, had to keep changing the socket over to remove old and put in new. Also some locations worked fine with short extension, some needed longer extension. The flex head ratchet helped, but it was still irritating.

 

Also the existing plug wire seperators pinch an 8mm insulation, here is a combo pack of wire separators made for 8mm wires.

Everybody say "Thanks Danny Lee for letting us know about this".

You're welcome. lol

 

Thats a good price. I might have to try a set out myself.

 

yeah i noticed the 8mm wires were tight to fit on the original wire separators, it made it a little more difficult to route the wires right to prevent any crossfire. A navy buddy of mine who is an electrician said it shouldn't be a problem with the pinching. the disco runs better with the new wires and champion plugs. switching ratchet extensions for the spark plugs was irritating.

 

Yes and no. We had a spark plug cleaner at the shop, pretty old school, but it was basically a tiny bead blaster chamber hooked up to the air hose. It had a little rubber gasket at the top that you popped the plug into and then hit the air. When you pulled it out it loomed new again. Problem is those platinum plugs and their thin wire electrodes would almost always take a beating and break :-(

So a regular old copper champion plug cleans up well, the high dollar ones not so much. Just have to make sure the ceramic insulation isn't cracked.

 

We used to clean our spark plugs with a wire wheel on the bench grinder.

 

Well look at that, our good friends at harbor freight still have them! Lol
