WOW! Thanks for the great reply AND the words of encouragement!! :-) Ok. I'm NOW on a search for COPPER plugs! Everyone I've spoke to so far thinks I'm crazy. Of course I didn't think the local "pep boys" would have them, but they'd never HEARD of them. SO, I called Mercedes thinking this must be some specialty item and they don't know what I'm talking about either. The mercedes people say they have the plugs for may car, but they are basically regular plugs (except they cost $3.00 a pop!) So, should I go with the mercedes people and get THOSE plugs or do YOU know where I can get these COPPER ones you speak of!
Can you believe I'm only at phase one of your plan??!!
Also...the mechanic who supposedly put the carbs in sync, did it with the car NOT RUNNING. So.....I still have yet to do the compression test and the ether test. BUT...isn't ether illegal? Will I be able to get it?? I have starting fluid WITH ether in it, but no pure. Hmmmm. Let me know!!
Your the best! Christy
Also...could you tell me how to hook up a remote starter? One end goes on the starter and the other end goes???? (boy do I need help!)
