Re: Spark Plug Diagnosis
Mike,
Your plan sounds like a good one. Before changing the #8 plug wire, run it for a 100 miles, then pull the plugs and see what they look like.
If they are all seemingly fouled and black with oil, maybe the problem is with the valve seals. If the #8 shows up black and the others are OK, then maybe it is the plug wire or the valve seal on that cylinder.
Yoru report of an increase of oil consumption to a quart 500-600 miles sounds like an oil problem may be the root of it.
Have fun, it is all fun with these cars
