[Shotimes] car trouble continued

[Leigh Smith]

Doug;
If you pulled the plugs IIRC and let the oil drain into the engine you could
likely have oil fouled the plugs. They may never work properly again.
Basically they will short circuit. I'd suggest a new set. But don't put them
in until you get all that oil out of the cylinders!
