Finally Getting Around To Ignition Upgrade

Yesterday after work I modified the route of the right bank spark plug wiring to go under the Bypass hose maintaining as best I could the wire seperation. When I get some more kazooks I'll get more wire sperators, or make some. I was getting Handyman magazine for a while and they kept sending me 'bonus' plastic bolt sizers. For part of this I cut a couple of rows off and used them as surrogate wire seperators.


I also got some more fine blast media and cleaned up the fuel fouled 65's I had on hand from a couple of years ago. I don't have a lot of faith in HF stuff but for cleaning up spark plugs this dingus air spark plug cleaner



works pretty good. I got 'em all installed but for the odd angle on #8 I heard that distictive crunch that meant I broke the porcelain so I had to pull it and clean up another one. By the time I got done it was two hours after dinnertime so I called it a day. I may try starting her up tonight.

 

Google zip tie plug wire separators. Super simple and clean looking if done right.

 

I re~routed the right bank spark plug wires under the Bypass hose to keep 'em away from the Coil wire;


Last night after work I fired her up and after blowing the carbon build up in the exhaust system she ran better than ever before!

 

...now it's on to the AFB...

 

....and yes I did reconnect the distributor vacuum line

 

Thanks for that Sterlclan, I had a look at those zip tie plug wire separators, but in keeping with the JeepHammer idiom, I'm trying to keep those wires further apart. 1 - 1 1/2 inches.
