Hi Friends,

I am after a 100 miles of pure fun. Unfortunatly the rain stoped the fun
this time also. Even more miserably this time the sky was bright and the
rain pured from my engine. Umho. After shuting the negine off I have found
that one of my core plugs have gone.
Since it is the 2.7 engine with the "doomed" type plugs, I had quite some
bad feelings of theese plugs. Is there an "appropriate science" how to
install them? I have applied some sealand and pundhed the center of the
plugs until they became a bit "flat" on the center. Did I do it wrong?
Other than that the car ran marvellous. I have found a working set of
distributor springs, soo now the power curve is fine, the hesitation and
vibration went away from the low-range. Only I found the vacuum advance a
bit too much. I will decrease that and the car will be spot on.

Gergo
