We didn't make it for the drive. We had an issue with the spark plugs due to my inexperience. They were actually being hit by the pistons. I chose a general purpose plug that was recommended on the board, but I guess they were for aluminum heads.

Matt, thanks for the help yesterday! I want to hear that motor after all that exhaust work and the new plugs.

It will be soon, I hope. I have been sick in bed all day with some kind of virus or cold or something. I will hopefully have some updates soon. Chuck, I had a great time yesterday.

Hope you feel better Matt!

5150 · 01-21-2013, 12:06 AM

Matt, take about 2 cups of NyQuil and let us know how you feel when you wake up on Tuesday.

cubber · 01-21-2013, 09:29 AM

I did take lots of nyquil. I am gonna give work a try, since I do feel better plus, I can get some spark plugs while in town, lol. And I also used up most of my time off working on my truck,lol.

Rusbuilt · 01-21-2013, 10:35 AM

I can't wait to hear that thing running on all 8!

**67cheby** · 01-21-2013, 10:37 AM

looking forward to your drive !

cubber · 01-21-2013, 10:54 AM

Haha I imagine it will go very similar to that!

cubber · 01-21-2013, 09:10 PM

More like

after second set of plugs won't clear my headers I'm PISSED. I'm taking offers on the truck.

Rusbuilt · 01-21-2013, 09:13 PM

Nooo!!! We can fix it!

**thelonerife** · 01-21-2013, 09:20 PM

whaat?

Rusbuilt · 01-21-2013, 10:43 PM

Don't give up on it Matt!

cubber · 01-21-2013, 10:50 PM

Sorry, fellas. Slight tantrum there. It's just frustrating to know that there are tons of vehicles out there with the same issue, and when you try to find a plug in the same heat range but shorter, its like its never been done before. I told my wife that I was gonna take tonight off because I'm still not 100%, but that truck sitting out there being this close just aggravates the living you know what outta me.

I Got a set of champion copper plus plugs from the auto store, i had difficultys putting them in, but there in, Autolites cores arent even copper looking, broke a few here and there, they sold us grafite plugs. pissed me off. they should be put in by hand then box end wrench, to clear the headers. ask for the shorter style, non high milege plugs . make sure you also look at some Accels header plugs. Very small plugs

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!! i kills me also to see something, id go nuts but it looks like your holding up, patience is your virtue

Rusbuilt · 01-21-2013, 10:52 PM

I know what you mean buddy! Hang in there you will figure it out!

jtj143 · 01-21-2013, 11:26 PM

What are you running? 383 with headers...can't be that difficult to find someone with a similar setup. The part store guys can usually only help you if they can look it up in their computer. Find a practical application - like you said, tons of vehicles are out there. Someone will be able to point you in the right direction Matt. Keep Calm and Truck On!

5150 · 01-21-2013, 11:29 PM

It will be alright Matt, once we get this figured out and you're driving the truck you'll be laughing at this moment.

cubber · 01-21-2013, 11:43 PM

Thanks, guys. I just get worked up. It seems like every little hiccup that could happen has. Oh, look at me, *****in about my hobby truck that I've dumped thousands into, lol. I'm lucky to have this thing to ***** about, and have a shop to ***** in, I guess. You know what? I bet it's the coil.
