Aha!!! FOUND IT!!!!

Foudn the reason why my perfomrance is dropping off....


#1. Crappy leak from Intake manifold

Take care of it later durring Cam swap...


#2. Coil is Sh!tty!!! Car no like starty!

Not sure if I killed it because I was using the stock wires at the time after having the Taylors scew up... but I have 8mm's on there now. I think the manual called for 8 and above or something... screw it... Should I go MSD again... or is there a better company out there that makes a good Blaster... or for the 6AL am I stick with the MSD Blaster... 2 years and it's f34ked...


#3. My rear driverside spark plug and wire are boggin in and out. I think I stripped or cross threaded something installing it...any ideas on how to fix?

Finally where getting somewhere...

looks like your going to have to Helicoil it, not sure exactly how its done.


Worst case you will have to pull the head and take it to a machine shop
