The rings aren't seating. I need to take a long trip then maybe they will.

The plugs are looking better and the insert isn't leaking.

I got it really close. Only a slight miss at 4000 from one carb. I'll get it. Not done with the plug insert yet. :dry:

Diligence is worth it in the long run.
The Dynatek solid core plug wires with NGK Resistor caps have 5+ ohms resistance, and the Taylor Resistor Core wires with Non-Res Accel caps have 3.8
Go figure
:S
P.S. With NGK BR8EVX Resistor spark plugs, I thought there would be an excessive resistance problem with the Taylor Resistor Core wires.
But, that doesn't seem to be. I don't get that, because I seemed to have an issue using the NGK Resistor Caps and those same Resistor plugs some time ago.

The caps I have are non resister. I'd like to get some blue Taylor wires though. :whistle:
