God bless the 302....

[92EmeraldCoupe]

Well I just got done changing plugs on my car. I put some autolite 25's in to replace the 24's which are my juice plugs. Well, I did cylinders 5-8, all looked good, started doing 1, 2, then 3. Once I pulled 3 I noticed that the porcilin was all white :eusa_thin Pulled 4, it was the same color as all 7 others. :eusa_thin Got me thinking. I am guessing that my car was not firing on cylinder 3 hence it is white and TOTALLY dif from all the other plugs :eusa_naug I guess the boot was never put on totaly and it wasnt getting juice.....Thank the Lord my motor is still in one peice. Several weeks ago I raced my friend in his 00 ss and I was spraying. Guess I am a lucky sole. Guess that also explain why the car has seemed to be using more gas inthe past several months. I made sure that ALL the wires were on tight this time :eusa_wall

I think I still have my oil pump shaft outa my 83gt, spun the damn thing up like a twizzler, literaly...splintered the steel and all.

Your spark plug could be hot from a vacuum leak.....

wait, u said they were white? doesnt that mean-LEAN?

[92EmeraldCoupe]

Only one of them was white. All the others looked good and normal. I noticed the car was slower then it normally was and used a little more gas, but I drove it 800 miles in the past 2 months. So thats like nothing at all. So I didnt drive it as much to really notice it was not right.

Spun the oil pump shaft on my 93 gt when i had it, looked like a pretzel roll.

Yea i did the same thing on my car..... They are designed to break when the oil pump seizes so it doesnt take the distributer out with it

i drove my 87 gt 5.0 for atleast a 1000+ miles with it knocking and no oil pressure!!! Still was beating on it witout a problem....then sold it who know probably still runs
