Kevin,

Yes, definitely clean out that M130 motor. Those old 2.8s are known for fouling plugs, especially if you store it in the winter and only start it up once in a while and let it idle. While this procedure is fine, I strongly recommend revving it once the engine has warmed up a little to keep the plugs from fouling. But on the open road, give it all you got!
