[Shotimes] Help - Sporadic Ignition Miss

[Steve Tatro]

In the words of a fine group of gentlemen, namely Tag Team, "Whoomp,
there it is".

I'd say replace those with some Motorcraft parts.  Also, if you're
getting oil in the plug wells fix that problem or you'll run the risk of
ruining another (and more expensive) set of wires.

>From what I've seen, read, etc. the typical cause of general "misfires"
is typically spark-related.

Good luck.

I stand corrected, the plugs are Autolite , and the wires are Champion!
