I started the tune up today between the rain drops.
First things out = an old set of NGK plugs.
Very black & nasty, but gap right on at .025
Don't know what I was thinking but the new set I put in had a gap of .030 and I just left them like that. Is that going to cause a problem?
I have 6 quarts of 20W-50 here and will have a new filter on Monday. Also coming Monday are a new cap & rotor along with a set of plug wires. I figure none of that stuff has been replaced in 20 years, the car runs OK as-is and performance is pretty good but fuel economy is terrible.
Next I'll likely get a pair of K&N air filters and clean / tune the carbs. The color of the plugs indicates the carbs are set a wee bit rich /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
