How to increase your horsepower by 15%!!!

Now if you ever see two dangling down side by side, DON"T HOOK THEM UP. Close the hood and go find an adult. It can blow up your engine!!

DT,Man I don't get it.

If you put the wrong wire on the right plug, your engine will blow up. Don't aske me how I know this but it is absolutly, positively true. You would think they would make it so you can't put the wrong one in the right place, but they didn't. So ya gotta be real, real careful like or you will be sweeping up your engine in a dust pan.

A very long story, but in 2001 I adjusted the valve lash on my solid-lifter motor, and the engine just ran like a dog's breakfast. I could barely keep the engine running, and it would stall if I took my foot off the gas.

I asked Mike Drew, who was riding with me, to take a peek and see if perhaps two wires were crossed, as you suggest. Let's just say that the reason for my poor running engine was obvious - we forgot to connect HALF of the spark plug wires! There were 4 wires laying on the trunk area... I was amazed that the car ran that WELL considering it was only running on 4 cylinders!

DT, buy the anti-tamper spark plug wires. You can't touch them unless you have a full carry permit.

That would not be good!!!

Chevys and dodges have a software program that does that for you now. It unhooks your sparkplugs as you cruise. It is supposed to give your better milage.
My car runs batter as an eight cylinder than it does a seven.

Doug that won't work for me. My carry permit is on the way, so I will still be able to mess it up.
