These plugs are brand new. First time i run the car after thrashing the old ones when i had the coil wrongly connected. You want me to replace them again?

Replace or clean them. If the engine is running stronger with the wire change, the carboned-up plugs may (hopefully) be too much fuel. How many turns down are the carb nozzles?

Plugs are brand new. Clean as best you can and use.

They will begin to clean themselves up with the new hot spark.

Just keep driving it. 

Do you know how to use a timing light?

Should check where it as at.

Keep going. You will be able to smoke the tires soon!

 

Should i purchase a new 1.5 ohms pertronix coil and get a new resistor from amazon?

No, not until gundee recommends that!

Clean the plugs and drive the car...

Buy a can of carburetor spray. Some 400 grit sand paper and clean them up. Doesn’t take that long to do. Slow down and be patient. You are not there yet but you Have to be Patient. Finally making positive steps. Still a long way to go. This won’t be fixed in a days time. Step by step friend.

Hi Mark. Ill check on this and revert. How many turns clockwise do you think its enough to avoid the plugs getting fouled?

Thanks again Gundee. Its totally different car now. WHat about getting a brand new resistor and ignition coil? Cant i just clean and remove the foul with a brass brush?

 If the floats are correct and I believe they are, 2 1/2 turns down should be close.  I seem to recall yours being 3 to 3 1/2 turns down.

Not sure if it needs to be said but turn them gently.

Hard to say not knowing the air density in Panama.

Try just 2 turns down and see how that feels.

You can always go more if needed.

Sure would be nice to know what the previous owner has the timing set at.

If that has never been adjusted.

You seem to be just fine with the coil and resistor you have. Save your money.

On the plugs, Its just that you have purchased a few new sets of plugs in the past.

You could pick out the best 6 you have unless you threw them all away.

If you want to buy another set, thats up to you. Nothing wrong with it except money.

Just keep driving it. It should get better.
