Car had autolite 24's in it, passenger side was a pain in the ass to get out. I put all new autolite 25's in it, noticed some oil on the threads of the plugs on the driver side. Gonna tighten the valve covers in a bit see if that fixes that problem, as some work has been done on that side of the car recently. I'm thinking some oil may sweeping from the valve cover gasket. Plugs didn't look like they were changed in forever, definately feel a difference.

****ing taylor plug wire on the passenger side got roasted some how (probably resting on a exhaust header) so I had to replace it with a bosch until I can get another set of taylors.

Bah, thanks for the help fellas.

Use sparkplug boots on all your wires anytime you have aftermarket headers I say because it helps save those expensive wires (even tho they cost almost the same as a set of wires, 5 bucks a piece here) but they really help. They also help prevent misfires from the wires arcing when they are touching a header. Just some advice...
