Trying to figure out why my car runs crappy and thought I pull a plug and look at it. Grabbed the wire and it turned!! Looked at it and it looked like crap so I thought Id change my plugs. They were all not tightened! :craz When I put my engine in I guess I forgot to tighten them.

Put in new plugs and it seems to run better. Could I have messed anything up by this screw up? Probably driven it 50 miles like that.

Thanks
 
Grabber Orange cars are indestructible in the hands of anyone other than me. You have no worries.
 
Sounds like something I would do...lol. Good thing you found it before digging into thinking something else was wrong and taking stuff apart to find it. :scar I have learned the hard way to look at the simple stuff first. :cry
 
Put in the new plugs, adjust carb and set timing. Seems to idle great now no miss. :ecit Didnt get to drive it yet but its got to run better than it has been running. Sunday Ill take it for a drive and hopefully my hesitation will be gone. Those plugs were really messed up.

Thanks
 
Better rotate the air in the tires now too. I bet you forgot about doing that too didn't you? :vic
