What did you do to your g-body today 2025 Edition!

[86LK]

Installed a new radiator. Wasn't paying attention and ordered one a bit thinner than my old one, but it'll do for now.
Had a helper with me.
(He wasn't that much help).
I used some durex coolant, does it have some kind of UV dye? It's like  neon green and stains the paper towels.

Horn his disconnected. I sat him in the truck while I worked on the regal.

Gave it 2 more degrees of initial timing, cleared the lope right up. Left it idle for 10 more minutes and pulled the plugs:

No oil on any threads!

Now I have to chase down a huge miss fire issue! Going to make up a new set of plug wires and swap back to the old analog 6A box tomorrow. If that doesn’t work, I’m pointing my finger at the MSD distributor. Found the timing gear shims were grinding off the bottom of the distributor body and a portion of the shims themselves, I replaced them with a tighter set but the distributor is making a tapping noise while running. No wandering timing however, so I’m at a loss as to what’s causing the breaking up under power.

Spongbob said: The only plug I ever saw to missfire at an idle and hit on a load was nun other then ngk "...........thats backwards to any plugs I have used ...that was enough to discourage me from useing them
