[V8] spark plug pulsing????

[Ron Wainwright]

Here then Scott.....since you are an employee let me
run down what I was going to say to the guy/woman
behind the counter.......;-P

 I suppose I'm grate full that none of those bad spark
plugs I had in the motor shot up through the
Bonnet.....I've brought that car up into the 7K RPM
range!
 I tell you this motor is SO strong! Even after
putting the old plugs in the car felt even MORE
stronger...obviously cause the plugs were bouncing
around in there had an affect on the running condition
of the car.

 But just a few more tweeks & she'll be....dare I say
perfect!
