George Smith came over and helped me today. We got the old '64 Polara 4
door out of moth balls. We pulled the plugs and changed the oil and
filter for starters. We took it out for it's first short ride of the
season. It ran pretty good.
I'm wondering your thoughts on the spark plugs. I was trying to compare
them to pictures for plug "reading" and they were different of course.
They don't look bad but they are an even light gray as opposed to a
light tan. With the twin 500cfm Eddy's I gotta imagine it's rich. Would
the grayish tint relate to moderate richness? It does have some
hesitation when you it it so I'm thinking of increasing the accelerator
pump squirt for that issue. I think maybe the low speed needs some down
sizing and the secondary's might want to go up???
We checked out the springs and they are very tired. George is afraid
they may even be broken. I have a set of heavy duty, maybe SS, springs
from the Dana 60 out of a '68 Roadrunner that I swapped with George. I'm
thinking I'll swap them for mine and see how they sit. They will fit as
I have previously measured them.
Lert me know what you think.
