how do you know the temp? I thought I heard them at JBA say that the gauge didn't work? Do you have an autometer? Where is the pic?

I have to wait till my dad gets home in a little bit to find the only freaking camera that we have a chord to hook it up to the computer.
White = TOO HOT!
Lol, they must not have seen the guages on my piller.
well right to about a bit above the numbers it is a dirty tan.
That might be caused by when I had to drive it for a week without any tune on it.
You need to tell me the color of the electrode (hook at the top) not the actaual plug color.
Plus I need to change my radiator fluid, there's some stuff floating in it.
Oh, hold on I will get you a picture.
My dad says that it is a nice, light tan.
You need to go buy new plugs regardless. You should have put in new plugs before the tune. Ryan was driving with a bad tune the whole time he had it!
, but you must look at all of them. You may have a bad cylinder.
Ok, hold on.
I'll let you know when I am done.

orange, is there a scanner that can be plugged in to a 5.0 computer???? Or do you have to use one of those timing tools to check the timing on a 5.0????
You have to check timing with a timing gun. The only thing that plugs in is a code scanner.
I checked them all, all of them are good, except for one that I couldn't chack because I think it might be crossthreaded. I am taking it somewhere tommorow to get checked. And probably have them use a compression tester too. And are you sure that I don't need any colder plugs?
Oh, and by the way, all of the plugs that they sell for my year and model have .054" gaps.
just my opinion, go to dauntes and get step tuned. the only tune you got is a WOT tune. not as accurate and safe.
The larger the gap the better, but those are recommendations. Every car is different, one car may like .54 another may like .45. The more you can get away with the better. You shouldn't need any colder plugs unless you have N20! I use those in my 393 and they work fine. My plugs are gapped at .45 and the car runs good. You keep dumping money like water instead of doing the basics first.
