Help need Spark plugs ASAP Manhattan

My FD is flooded and the spark plug is fouled, I've tried everything. Does anyone know of a place closest to Manhattan that I can get a set of plugs now, thanks.

pull the plugs out. disconnect egi fuses, crank until its not flooded. blow out your old plugs with compressed air. you don't necessarily need brand new ones and FD's shouldn't really flood!

Thanks everyone. I did pull the plugs and egi out and crank, after no smoke comes out of the plug hole I try to start and it starts and dies immediately( rpm jumps to about 100 or 200 ). I am getting fuel so its gotta be the spark right?

get a steel wire brush (silver one not brass) and parts cleaner and clean the plugs the best you can.
