Re: cleaning spark plugs: Process
i remember those days when i worked in a garage, you never replaced any thing, you repaired it, rebuilt carbs and fuel pumps, filed points, cleaned spark plugs as you said, i also had a little tool with a bent end on it about an inch long, you used it to reach down in the plug to pry out the carbon, that was before we got one of those fancy machines that you plugged the spark plug in and it blew sand and air on it to clean them, much faster and did a better job than doing it by hand, it also tested the plug and condensor, if they checked out you used them again, that was when an oil change included oil filter, lube all the grease fittings, checked trans and diff, radiator water, brake fluid, air in the tires and cleaned all the windows, inside and out, that was when service meant something
