It did it before I swapped mufflers (which I welded on... so yeah, would be
a little tough. I could temporarily disconnect them at the H-pipe, but then I'd hafta take off the hanger I welded on.. not fun.. so nevermind. The ignition wires I replaced about 20k miles ago. I noticed that the inside of the plug holes are a bit dirty.. as in dirt contamination. I see a thing on eBay that has MSD Ignition wires, tach driver, and 2 coil packs all in 1 auction that I may snag. Replace it all & see what happens... but what can I use to clean out the plug holes? Also, what can I use to clean out the spark plug boots?

I'm *probably* gonna replace all of the ignition wires. Is there any
advantage to using MSD ignition components? I'll test the wires first of course. I just hafta dig up my multimeter.

I know you have probabaly already made sure, but just because it came into
my head. Make sure that the contacts inside the boots have not slipped up so far that they are not making proper connection with the plugs, and that they are snapped onto the plugs good and firm. Like I said, I know you already did this....

I didn't do that... I didn't even know they could move! I did force the
plugs to seat sometimes... and I think I may have pushed them upward.. damn, Kate.. if you're right... imma be so ****ed & so happy at the same time. I'll check it tomorrow.
