Amazing work for an alleged mechanical engineer, huh? The funny part
is, he's so thrilled that he can change a sparkplug that he must post
it here!


It seems to take about two hours to change the plugs on a
Navigator.The book said to change them at 100 000 miles, so we did,
but they looked fine. Should have waited for the check engine light to
come on. The engine is so buried that you can't even see it, and you
have to take stuff off to get at other stuff.

Ah for the days..... I had a Plymouth Belvedere with a slant six. I
could get in the engine compartment and actually stand on the floor,
in front of the front steering components! I took the engine out of it
in one evening. After rebuilding it put it back in in an evening.


Reminds me of my '66 F-100 with a 352. Pretty much the same when I
rebuilt it. Everything easy to get at. What was funny was seeing the
hood leaning against the garage door. Big.
