[V8] Off topic: Ford 302 V8

[Roger M. Woodbury]

Well, I found one plug that looked for all the world as though it was dead.
I decided to replace all the plugs and did so...but one of course.

I used to do a lot of this stuff, and it shows.  Been a long time.  I broke
a plug so I have eight new ones and one bad....and the truck runs better,
but not perfect.  So I think I had two bad plugs and will replace the one
remaining one tomorrow when it stops raining.

One and three are the culprits, it seems.

Can you pull one plug wire at a time to see if the engine runs rougher?
You may find no change in behavior when you pull one wire -- that would
be your dead cylinder. (Obviously, replace the wire before moving on to
the next one.)
