Thanks, all, for the advice. I am crossing my fingers it is just some bad plugs. I know for sure the 1 and 3 are bad, and it's certainly possible another one or two are shoddy ... there was another one (can't remember which one) that kind of bobbled between .9 and 1.2 ohms so maybe that was on the outs, too. Of course, I am sitting here at work trying to think of the most horrible possible thing it could be so I can worry myself into a frenzy ... I believe at this point I have "Munchausen syndrome by auto."

Thanks for the advice on the ether, Brian. It didn't sit well with my. My indy was very adament that I not use too much, to the point that it scared the ^$&% out of me. I know he knows what he's doing, but I think he may have overestimated my ability (or confidence) to use the perfect amount. He knows I'm pretty savvy, so I guess he figured it was OK. But, I think I am going to be a sissy about it (not always a bad thing, right?) and wait until Thursday to start this thing ... it will be only 40 degrees tomorrow and almost 70 Thursday ... no brainer. If it doesn't start then, I'm gonna take your tow-truck advice. My indy is only about 3 blocks from my parking lot, though ... so if anyone has a strong horse and a good harness ...
