[s-cars] Cleaning Spark Plugs

[matt ludwig]

You think even after the motor has been running pretty fuel heavy for a
while? I am willing to think they would be fine with the fresh tune-up
but want to make sure so I don't have to schedule another time w/ my
mechanic.

The carb cleaner tip is used often for early model, american V8s. I was
pretty sure it did not apply here. Thanks again for any/all advice.
