No, just saying that two spark plugs were thrashed when removed for 
replacement.  Additional "non diesel" info - it wouldn't run with a 
smacked rotor (a vacuum hose was shifting and pushing the dist cap off 
center...).

I think it was still running on all five.  Two just had a rather 
undignified spark gap.
