Ok...i just did the re-routing of the plug wires,and replaced the wires with
Autolite wires(the ones made for the 318/5.2L).Im at 1/2 full on my tank,so
i'll take her down this weekend,refuel with 89 octane Citgo,and add a bottle
of Techron to the fuel.
The plugs are Champion RLY12C's i think(something like that)
I need to get a special socket adapter,so i can install the Autolite 3924's
i have here.With the 3924's,what is the CORRECT gap needed?
