Re: [DML] spark plug update



This is what I know.   The plugs are the plugs that are listed in the book as the original plugs for the car.  Everything that I have replaced on the car so far has appeared to be original to the car except for the oil sending unit and the air filter.  The cap and rotor appears to be original as the jetronic equipment was never touched.  If it ever was serviced and im wrong.... it was done a long time ago.
 
Im in staten island now, and have already picked up an EZ-out set at Sears.  Meanwhile the three problem plugs have been soaking in oil for over a week.

Just outta curiousity, how old are those plugs? Could they be 20 years old?
I guess that could make a difference in their condition, couldn't it?

Also, you said you got 3 out of 6 plugs out- were the broken plugs common to
one side of the engine, or spread out?

Keep us posted!
