I was not sure when this was done last so i decided to replace the plugs and wires. I went to NAPA and got 8 new Bosh Platinum plugs and new Belden Max wires (700385).

here are the old plugs they were gapped at .050 way to big for the stock ignition system. the tach did not like to work below 1000 RPM and the correct gap seemed to have fixed this.

i put some of the Anit-size on the plug threads. this will keep the plugs from rusting to the head and allow easy swap next time.

we wer driving down the street and had a real bad shake and then the motor died. one issue was the cap and rotor ( i should have replaced at the time i did plugs and wires but i was too cheap. the rotor was burned and the coil connector was blown off the cap. you can see a hole where it should be.
