No longer Hopeless in Ohio:Cheap Spark Plugs

My 87 N/A stopped running a couple of weeks ago. It appeared to be flooded and I'd tried everything to get
it started. After trying the ATF trick and every unflooding procedure under the sun, I gave up. As a last resort, I thought it might be worth one more shot with new
plugs. Figuring it was a lost cause, I bought the cheap
Autolites, installed them, and the car fired right up?!?
Go figure. Thank you to everyone who posted advice or
emailed me directly with possible solutions. It was a big help.

Autolite 2626 plugs?&nbsp Be careful, these spark plugs have been known to split their center electrode and cause engine damage...

I knew they were cheap but had no idea there was the possibility of engine damage . Thanks for the information. I'll change them asap.

Thanks

Gerard
