wires and oil

[Freshmeat]

...and as for the plugs, Kenny, at the power level of a stock CV/GM/TC 5.0, you won't notice much difference between stock replacement and "performance" spark plug wires, so just go with what you got. Personally, I really liked the stock replacement Bosch wires I had on my '96 T-bird.

Im running teh $0.99 Boxch copper plugs in my Windosr with teh 9mm Ford racing wires and a full MSD ignition. I really should change plugs, since these plugs were in the motor when it was running really lean. Lean enough to heat the header red hot.

Autolite.

That is all.

never going back

i wouldnt change back to any other plugs unless fully recommended. these autolites and new plugs are doing great. also there was a oil leak before the synthtic very small but now i cant find a drip of. also im off to go to the car dealer today to get my wife a new car(toyota corolla), which means i finally get to do what i will or want with my vic. as my son would say UH-OH!

V/C gaskets get toasted often on 302s...

Just the way they are. That could be an oil leak right there..

That's why I buy $25 valve cover gaskets. They're the rubber with the metal core. Bad ass- I couldn't keep corks on there, but I went 5,000ish miles with the rubbers and not a drop fell from the covers!

I already had them swaped out. thats one of the reasons why i dont think theres a drip in sight. now if i can only find where to put this supercharger?? :bs:

[Freshmeat]

I know where you can put it...

in a box with my name and address. You can store it at the post office.

I also use the steel core FMS ones.

The STOCK ones leak often.

I still can't figure out why those nice Aluminum covers with more bolts than my Chevy does not seal properly with good Felpro cork gaskets?

I shudda got the rubber/metal ones like I wanted, sold the car anyhoo so moving on.

You sold the red 'guna, and now have the black one, right?

Go figure - I have the aluminum Mark VII valve covers and the top front bolt for the driver's side one sheared off while tightening it, that VC therefore is now held by only 5 bolts and the Felpro cork gasket hasn't leaked even a drop of oil.
