Lightened up the Chevelle today by removing some excess rubber from the rear tires. Also replaced the spark plug wires. Idled great but I could feel one cylinder missing at higher RPMs. Finally figured out it was a wire breaking down. Installed a set of Taylor universal fit wires. What a pain sliding the boot over the wire, crimping the connector on then sliding the boot back down. Those silicone jackets on the wires are sticky. Miss is gone now, tested it by rotating the rear tires at a high rate of speed, much higher than the front tires were rotating.

Love the Taylor wires.
A little shot of WD40 helps with that boot assembly. ;)

We cruised top down in the mountains here in North Carolina with temps in the low 70's after a few light rain showers ,perfect temps . I was way out in the boonies and thought I heard banjo music.

Sounds nice John, wish I had a vert for these warm days. Head away from banjo music.

Tried that, didn't work that good. Used silicone spay, that worked a lot better.

I've also used a dab of moly assembly lube.
Damn near impossible to get those wires assembled dry.

The silicone spray helped, but then the wire is all covered with it which makes it slip through your hands. Anyway, got it done. Lynda and I went for a ride earlier today. Ran good and it was a perfect day for it. Temps in the 70's, humidity is down finally.

Be loading the car tomoorow and heading to a show about 1 1/2 away. Would drive it, but I have a rear main leaking I believe.

Just pulled in from a car show east of use. Guess the car gets to spend the night out of the garage on the trailer for the first time since I have owned it. Car cover will be over it. I got there 2 hours before the show and almost didn't get in. Lots of cars came out today.
