Let's see...Bosch plats...gapped at .032. Bosch Wireset as well... Yeah, a Lady can gap 'em, lick 'em, and stick 'em right too Also, from being around wrench turners all my life and being in the military, I know that you must hear a 'pop' or a faint 'click' to ensure the wires are snug. No I did not cross thread the plugs...I would have burst the pluggie or no combustion would have occurred to complete the 'spark'...
Now for the start and will not turn all the way over...it will not stay 'lit.' (this is going to sound real bad but if you got your bottom bursted you'll get it) If you have ever had your behind beaten by your mom or pops till you catch your breath for dear life, then you know that the engine is cranking like the child is crying (engine starts), but is crying at such intensity that it can not get it out (will not turn over). Basically in a nutshell...I can not drive my car and if my husband checks the odometer on his 66 he is going to flip...by the by can you Mr. Shelby, and ask him to turn this odometer back for me...
