Finally fixed the idle!

[87blackroxi]

On saturday I pulled one of the plugs. The gap was .22. I pulled the rest and they ranged from .22 to .28. So I gapped them all at .35 and of course, smooth idling at 700 rpm's.
And wow, she is a whole new monster. After the new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, with the new headers she's a mean lady! A whole different car.

Thanks everyone for all the input and help.

Excellent!! I'm glad it was something that simple, and a freebee to fix... and you didn't have to use any tape!

Actually, I had to break out the duct tape as a quick fix. While I was in there wrenching the plugs I tore up my knuckles a bit. I just wrapped a couple pieces of the duct tape and was good to go!:L

:L Yeah, plugs can be a real knuckle buster. Good thinkin on the tape!

It's always good to see such a simple and cheap fix to a problem.
