Hey Sparky!

Does anyone know if we can get spark pluggies for our cars locally yet? I was wanting to change mine before this weekend and see if i can get rid of the highend stumble.

of course you can, but that doesn't mean they'll be the correct ones that will work in your engine

Paul I'm sure Oreilys or Napa has them or can get them sent via their parts warehouse by Fri.

Paul if they are able to get them, let me know how much they were, As I too would like to change my plugs here in the near future.

Roger that... Nobody has bought any I take it?

Oh... they need a special gapping tool, don't they?

I think I remember David C. Said he had changed his. Not sure if he got them local? Might send him a PM or call?

I got mine at Crow Burlingame Bumper to Bumper the factory plug is HT1 in autolight and one step cooler is HT0 autolight and yes the do have a special gapper and the have a special 9/16 plug socket.

I've been working gota get stuff done work, shop, house and my car damn thing never happy with it so I bought a block and going to fix the low horse content of my car. I will be out at TNT unless its to dang cold I found a little more ponys and want the track to tell me I can't run the car again with out a roll cage

Would Randy at BHF hook you up with the plugs??? Seeing as they are a club sponsor and all, why not support the clubs needs??

Good thought Jerry

The OEM plugs suck. They are two piece design and have a tendency to sheer off in the head.

Yep.

I'm really suprised you guys are talking so casually about changing plugs in the 3V heads! I've read countless stories about NIGHTMARES changing the plugs. The OEM plug is about a 50 50 chance of breaking off inside the head. The two pieces are simply crimped together. HORRIBLE design, Ford really messed up there. I was scared to death to change my plugs, based on what I read about them, and reading horror stories. I had the Ford dealer do them, so that if the tech broke them, they'd hafta pay to fix it. If I broke it doing it myself, I'd be SOL. Anyway, good luck!

The force is strong in this club...

The methane gas is strong with you Paul

I think if you follow the TSB on them its not that scary. Ya just gotta let them soak for a while with the apropriate penetrating oil.

haha you said penetrating David

Yup. I did.

I think also if you warm your engine it will help.

I suppose........perhaps......maybe........could be.......Hmmmmm.....

I changed mine; no problem if you follow the TSB exactly. I posted on here somewhere the place I bought my plugs - I think it was Summit; not sure. You'll think you broke it when you first turn it out; makes a horrible sound. All 10 of mine came out fine. (V10 was an '05 option only.)

Good to hear one of our members make it out alive with the spark plug change.
