I entered my 48 in a car show yesterday for the first time. I was put in a class of antiques from 46-53. There was about 25 cars in this class with trophys...
I was recently puzzled to find that I had blackened plugs on the 1,2,7&8 cylinders. At first there was misfiring and high gas consumption. It turned out that...
