I changed the plugs today. Already had the passenger battery tray out and the Jmb cai so I had tons of room on passenger side. The bellanger long tubes with the stock heat shields gone made the passenger side easy too.
My first passenger front plug #1... The clip that attaches the boot to the plug pulled out. Not the wire from the boot but the clip just stayed on the plug while the boot gently slid off the plug. DAMN. The amount of resistance felt... Or lack of makes it seem like it was already loose. I did my best to put it over the wire and crimp it. But I know I need to get a set of plugs now.
Every OE plug gapped between .048 and .051. They were wore out! Electrode rounded. They all looked the same. No one cylinder looked different. Wasn't carbon up at all.
It fired up nearly instantly and kinda suprised me. Idled much smoother. Test drove... I finally have traction problems with first gear and half of second. It pulled hard and once I had grip it nearly hit redline way before I expected.
Very happy with results.... Now I need to get wires.
I will be buying the coils with the wires. And I'm working out details on buying a polished intake to send off to powdercoat black. ill either do that or have my stocker coated wrinkle black. So more to come.
