Not to be stupid, but you did add new gas, as well as some stabilizer right?

Does it feel wierd at all other than just being slow? Is it jerky, anything like that.

Feels nice when it's an easy fix ahh.


One thing I do is label everything with tape, when you take the old ones off the dist., then match them to the new plugs when need be and label them as well. Seems a bit annoying, but it makes things much easier

One thing I can say, is that a 2.8 in the Third Gens is SLOW. I drove an 86 with a 2.8 and I seriously think my moms Cavalier could beat it. They look nice, but really lack any power.
