Tony D Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Good news, I was going to say I noticed you said 'newer' plug wires, and not 'new'... Misfires can cause hell with marginal engines, it did with mine! Checked my 'new looking' wires and was shocked to see (er..) how many failed the ohm check requirements!

Gollum Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I'm half surprised they passed you with the vacuum change. Does your underhood area have the vacuum diagram? If anything is re-routed or not hooked up they have the ability to fail you on visual. Congrats on the pass. Decent numbers too. HC could still drop a touch considering the timing adjustments you made, but overall good. Edited March 26, 2011 by Gollum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made them blend in very well, he would have to of been looking underneath the intake manifold to find it, and even still I really doubt he would have seen the difference.

( 750 + deg. ) at 2500 rpm . outlet should be hotter than inlet side on the cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
