Re: [T3] not running

[orntar <orntar@orntar.net>]

<x-flowed>i replaced the cap and rotor for my previously not running 1970 square, 
and then it started running on 1 cyl, so i checked the spark plugs 
(something i probably should have done a while ago, but i thought since 
it used to be running, i thought they should be ok)

i found that the plugs i could get too were all different brands and 
gapped wrong. so i replaced them with some bosch i had laying around.

i couldn't get my socket onto no. 2, maybe something down in there?

no. 3 went in fine and so did no.1

and as for no.4, the po stripped the threads out and then put in a 
really long plug. (threads maybe twice as long as normal) this one 
threads in fine, but the shorter (correct ones) will not go in. is there 
a temp fix i can do to get the right plug in there? the long ngk or 
something still wont fire.

so after all that, i am now running on 2 cyl, instead of 1, and it runs 
much better. imagine having all 4!  i am selling the car, so i do not 
wish to put in money for machining or something for the spark plug.
