[Tigers] Was how to remove spark plugs - now plug wires

[Ron Fraser]

Jay
	I had a set of Jacobs wires on mine for a long time, too bad they're
gone now.  I had a hard time starting a few years ago and found 3 wires were
bad.  I took those wires apart and fixed the connections, that set is now an
emergency  backup set.

	Recently, I purchase an original style wire set and installed them
to go to a more original look.

I also recommend you put dielectric grease in the boots to try to hold back
some moisture.
