OK. Next is the shotgun fix. I'm thinking 10 gauge birdshot, or maybe just a few lead slugs. Quick symptons: 1. Intake backfiring when accelerating and when coasting in gear. Once or twice when decel

Hi all, I tried splitfires once in my '67B and the car suddenly barely ran. The plug ads claim that there is more spark from more sparking area on the plug. But electricity follows the path of least
