Sometimes you try to do too much
So I was working on my Blazer all day. Its my daily driver and its been running rough recently. So I end up switching out my plugs after messing with my ignition, distributer and carb all day. I get half of them swapped out at 10 ish and then all of a sudden two of the plugs refuse to thread, I dont have thread chasers, and now she is out of service until I get my next day off. OR I bite the bullet and have a shop chase the threads and finish the job. Ugh, its days like this I wish I had a beater and a garage.

Re: Sometimes you try to do too much
That sucks man. I think we've all had those days.... I know I have. I know it might sound silly but put some slobber/spit on the thread of the plug and give another try. Its worked for me in the past. If you haven't already, try turning the plug counter clockwise until you feel that sweet spot then try to thread it in. Good luck!

Re: Sometimes you try to do too much
Here Is An Old Hillbilly Trick
Get An Old Plug With Good Threads Lightly Grind The First Threads Down Kinda Make Them Tapered Belt Or Bench Sander Usually Will Work Then Try To Chase Them In And Use Some Sort Of Oil |
