I saw this on facebook. (And stole it). It sounds like some of the threads here. Enjoy and Happy New Year.

"How many Facebook group members does it take to change a spark plug?

1 to change the spark plug and to post that spark plug has been changed.
14 to share similar experiences of changing spark plugs and how the spark plug could have been changed differently.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing spark plugs.
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing spark plugs.
15 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "spark plug" is an electrical device threaded into the cylinder of an internal-combustion engine to ignite the fuel mixture by producing timed sparks between electrodes.
6 to ask what is the correct gap setting.
2 to ask what is a 'feeler gauge'
2 to post that this group is not about spark plugs and to please take this discussion to a spark plug group.
27 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use spark plugs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this group.
16 to debate which method of changing spark plugs is superior, where to buy the best spark plugs, what brand of spark plugs work best for this technique, and what brands are faulty.
2 to post URL's where one can see examples of different spark plugs.
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the spark plug controversy.
4 to suggest that posters request the spark plugs FAQ.
1 to post a video of how spark plugs are manufactured.
16 to post wtf.
4 to ask what is a wtf?
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
3 to say "do a Google search on spark plugs before posting questions about spark plugs".
14 to post photos of spark plugs they own.
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again...."

Mart · 12-30-2018, 04:43 AM

That is a really clever piece, and sums up most chat room conversations. Thanks for posting it.

But, I'm still wondering, just how do you change a spark plug?

Mart.

That is very clever and nails it!

Hoop · 12-30-2018, 08:02 AM

... a few more:

* 18 will post comments like "bitchin' ride, Dude" or similar just to increase their total post count.

* 5 will tell you that you cannot set points with a feeler gauge and that you need to use a machine to keep from getting spark plug bounce.

* 9 will warn you that spark plugs must be sent to:

a. Bubba
b. Skip
c. (fill in the blank)

* 3 will insist you buy Mac Van Pelt's book

* 4 will tell you how spark plugs are gapped in California ... even though you are in Kentucky

* 11 will suggest you contact an Early Ford V8 club near you to get their help.

* 1 will tell how to use a spark plug to fire your "potato cannon."

Happy New Year

Mike51Merc · 12-30-2018, 09:19 AM

Nobody asked how much the sparkplug was worth?

JM 35 Sedan · 12-30-2018, 09:28 AM

So just to be clear....168. Is that correct?

51504bat · 12-30-2018, 11:47 AM

And spark plugs will soon be banned in California by the state air resources board.

glennpm · 12-30-2018, 12:37 PM

Or asking, "Is my spark plug good?", with no pictures or explanation of why the poster thinks it may be bad ;-)

r_reed · 12-30-2018, 01:29 PM

rule one: you can't change a sparkplug unless it wants to change.

petehoovie · 12-30-2018, 02:43 PM

To add to Hoop's list - 19 on here will say "never buy your spark plugs from MAC'S"....

Mart · 12-30-2018, 03:24 PM

The only thing missing is the OP having spent too long trying to change his plugs, after all the advice from experienced people telling him how to do it, threatening to give it up and install a diesel engine.

klicker · 12-30-2018, 04:08 PM

Or: that spark plug is for a ch3>y. You should ask your question on the H.A.M.B.

I think there are about 3 strings on the Model A forum now that are from about 2012/14 that someone has brought back up!

GB SISSON · 12-31-2018, 10:55 PM

I have a large steel chest with 36 drawers. One is marked 'spark plugs'. When I change spark plugs, it's with one of these. A wire brushing might occur first. I signed up for facebook about 3 months ago so I could join a woodie wagon forum. I couldn't figure out how to do it so I gave up. I'm somehow still on facebook and now have 26 old schoolmates or others ??? with a notice in about being a 'friend', whatever that is. I already have 3 friends right here on the island, along with my wife. If I had more than that I'd never get any wrenching done. It's quite a world out there.

My son is upset with me because I don’t use Facebook. He post pictures all the time. I tried it, but they continually are giving friend suggestions and then I started getting friend requests from customers. That was it, no more.

And yet, if they started a NEW thread, someone would post, "Do a search, we've covered this before!!!!". I sometimes wonder why some people are ON these forums. They are pissed when someone starts a topic that has been discussed in the past and pissed when someone drudges up a topic that was discussed in the past looking for more info. Perhaps there is a 3rd way to get answers on a forum that I am not aware of??.

3rd way: Reading the past instead of reliving it.

Unless, of course, you'd like to discuss radials versus bias plys. Everyone is always open to discussing those again.

Not sure what that means regarding posts, however, reliving the past is what most people here seem to be trying to do with these old cars.

I actually enjoy those types of subjects as long as people stick to the facts (regarding the mechanical differences, advantages/disadvantages) and perhaps SHARE there opinions as long as they don't diss someone else's OPINION or try to push their OPINION on others..........yeah, I know.....good luck with that one.......

What it means regarding posts is that if a topic has been beaten to death before, there is no sense in beating the dead horse again. You can just read about it instead of asking people to talk about it again.

It seems to me that, if someone drags up an old thread, they obviously HAVE "read about it" but didn't find the answers they were looking for. I doubt very much that are any subjects that have NOT been discussed in the past on forums like this that have a rather narrow focus so, if people are going to be offended by people bringing up topics that have already beed discussed before, the forum may as well just be locked down and used as an archive. Fortunately, not all long time members get annoyed by newcomers asking questions that are new to them but old to the guy that has been in this hobby for decades and are eager to help newcomers with their new found hobby. For those that already know it all and get tired of, or are just not interested in helping newcomers, just don't read or respond to the questions!!!. In fact, If someone feels that they already know it all and are not interested in helping newcomers, it makes me wonder why they even log on in the first place.

tubman · 01-03-2019, 02:11 PM

"Licensed to kill" - With all due respect, I have been on various forums for well over 10 years and have found that there are a lot of real lazy people out there. Most of them don't want to waste their time with the "Search" function. Are their legitimate reasons to drag and old thread back up? Certainly, but those occasions are far outweighed by those seeking the easy way out.

I know that some people see it that way. I too have been following several forums for many years and what I've noticed in all those years is that when someone drags up an old thread or starts anew thread on a topic that has been covered many times in the past is that something new invariably comes up on the topic if it gets any traction at all. There are more that one way to skin any cat, as it were, and while the senior members may have hashed out a topic at length in the past, a newer member may have new insight on that topic that will never have the opportunity to share it if everyone wanting to know just did a search for an answer (notice I didn't say THE answer because there vis usually more than 1 RIGHT answer). I've been new to forums where someone bringing up an old topic gets chastised by the senior members and the thread effectively gets shut down and I'm left thinking, "damn, I wanted hear about that". To each his own but I see forums as a place to exchange dialogue, not just an archive. I'm sure that a google search would yield the answer to ANY question that could possibly be answered on a forum so, in that respect, forums are redundant and serve no practical purpose is there only function is to provide a source to look up information. What I don't get is why people get their panties in a bunch if someone asks a question that has been covered in depth in the past. Just don't read/respond to it if you don't like it. That's better than voicing an objection that might discourage others from participating. That's how i see it any how. Like I said, to each his own.

HD Rider · 01-03-2019, 10:34 PM

I can tell you guys that the search function on this forum doesn't work on my Android device. I have also spent hours searching for answers and just given up because I waste too much time looking through search results that aren't relevant. They get hits on key words and bury what I'm searching for.

That has been my experience as well. I have better luck finding relevant threads on this forum through a google search that I do through a forum search.

Well now that we're good and off-track here, here's a search tip for y'all.

When using google, begin your search with this:

SITE:WWW.FORDBARN.COM your search phrase here

You will get results from the site you specify.

Here's an example using the phrase 1936 Phaeton:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site...hrome&ie=UTF-8

I have used the Search function many times, but sometimes I just can't figure out how to use the right wording to find the info I need.
In that case, I think it is acceptable to pose the question and learn from the responses, even if that means I get chastised a bit for not using Search, "like I'm supposed to."

Most of them don't want to waste their time with the "Search" function. Are their legitimate reasons to drag and old thread back up? Certainly, but those occasions are far outweighed by those seeking the easy way out.

I have also spent hours searching for answers and just given up because I waste too much time looking through search results that aren't relevant. They get hits on key words and bury what I'm searching for.

In that case, I think it is acceptable to pose the question and learn from the responses, even if that means I get chastised a bit for not using Search, "like I'm supposed to."
