[V8] spark plug pulsing????

[Ron Wainwright]

Well I swapped the wires & there still was no change.
So I pulled the 1st offending plug & found that if you
grab the top of the spark plug...& grabed the threaded
body of the plug...it spun 8-0...it's not supposed to
do that I said to myself.
 So I pulled all 8 spark plugs & 4 of the 8 were bad.
 So I boxed them up & pulled the ones from my old
heads...cause they were only like 1 thopusand miles
old....& cleaned them off & checked the gap &
installed them & all is as it should be.
 So I will bring back all 8 of the new plugs I just
bought & installed & get a fresh set of 8.
 I tell you though I WILL check each & everyone of
them before I even walk out of the store.

 Thanx for all who tossed me suggestions.
