Leaky rings, leaky valve guide seals or leaky head gasket? _________________ '74 2002 (undergoing Megasquirt conversion!)

Not sure which plugs you used but may want to go with a hotter plug. Then again, a compression check may be in order. _________________ 74 Tii

Lots of different thoughts on that. Hit the search button and you'll have lots of reading to do. Manual says .024-.028 but a lot can happen when mods have been made to the system. Many have gone with a much wider gap of .035-.040. Looks like it's trial and error to find what's best for your particular situation. _________________ 74 Tii
