Hard to tell what the pic is....explain.
Lucky number 8! Looks like whoever previously did spark plugs cross threaded cyl#8. On the suvs and trucks it’s really hard to get to. Most dealers won’t even replace it and say they did. Going to make a parts list tonight. Plan on pulling the heads and fixing the threads and maybe some port work. Along with doing a cam swap while I’m in there.

Boooo, that sucks man! As said though, you've already caught a little case of the "while I'm in here's".

Well it was so nice out I kept on going............

Swapped out the old tired 78 amp alternator and installed the fancy shinny new 160 amp.

I pushed mine outside so I could sweep out the garage. I'm tired of laying in metal shavings, and couldn't reach them to clean up. Took an outside pic, then put it back on stands since I need to modify my fuel lines.

I drove mine to work today. After work I washed it and went to a car show.

The car show is free drive-in type. Participants get entered into a free Rafael. I won 100 bucks cash! So it was a good time.

Nice Cutty! I see you're new here....what's the deets on that fine ride?? There are quite a few members here from TX too.
Thank you Sir, it is a 1984 Cutlass supreme with a Buick 3.8 V6. I've had it for about five years and love it to death. From a lady out of Houston but now cruising the streets of Fort Worth TX. That's right.
