plugs today.been running a bit rough, since I have a manifold leak it gets one or two of the plug wires hotter than they ought to be, and they perish.

Lifetime warranty is your friend, no expense just labor.

UPDATE: it’s amazing how well stuff works when the plug gap is closer to the nominal .055″ instead of the heavily burned .068″.

Would have been nice if I had gotten all eight, have to go back after the last two but need to make a special tool to remove the blasted heat shields. Still runs a mile better.

This is what I did, evenings, in the hottest bloody week of the summer.

I may have posted this pic before. This is the stump during excavation. the hole is maybe eight feet on it’s long axis, the stump maybe two feet on it’s long axis (the top, the bottom is obviously bigger)

This is the stump mostly cut in half, which makes obvious why it needed removal

And this is the smoothed out area of dirt where once stood an oak tree. or as I call it, the hole formerly known as stump.

And I have the scars to show for it, believe you me.

the folks at Total Choice hosting were nice and fixed this the moment I asked. So here’s some pictures of the part I’m making at IMTS.

it’s a compass, a little thick-pocketwatch sized deal that has a magnifying glass in it’s lid.

This is a view showing it open

(These are renderings from a solid model I made)

and here is a picture of the actual componenents next to an assembled sample.
