that is a nice chair. Those are single **** plugs?You should be using the NGK 4 prong style.Makes starting way easier.

Wires should be good to keep.Hot are better for daily driving and cold are better for power.I like to run hot ones at this time of year myself.

Also, the NGK plugs are notorious for being stubborn. I once bought a brand new set of plugs, ran my car for 3 days, flooded the engine, and had to buy new plugs. It took me about 7 hours to realize it was the plugs, because sometimes its too damn hard to tell. Of course, I was running a jetted stock Nikki, and sometimes fuel liked to accumulate in on the secondaries if i sat just before WOT. If i never oopened her up to WOT before I shut the car off, then she would flood, really bad. Talk about a rebuild gone wrong. Oh well, I rebuilt her after that and the carb was fine.



BTW - IMO the best way to clear a severly flooded engine is this: Remove all plugs, and remove T and L coil wires. Spray some ether through both 1 and 2 rotors, and crank her for a few seconds. Always worked like a charm.
