If i can help it im putting that off until the full rebuild. My engine bay is pretty much a wreck, i want everything looking new, not just a few bits and pieces.

Replaced the spark plug today. Much much better, not perfect though. Still getting some hickups in the low RPMs like it needs new plugs/wires. Plug wires look like they didnt get bothered by the fire though. I realized i forgot to gap the new plug i might give that a try tomorrow. In any case the car seems to be drivable now, so thats good!-Joel

So this weekend i am going to attempt to diagnose the remaining missfire issue. I also found my tuning cable and ordered a mechanical vacuum gauge which i think will be useful.
Plan is to get my tuning laptop up to speed and maybe tweak my tune some.
also if i can get the bugs worked out of this thing the way it is i am *very* tempted to toss this 230/238 cam in ive got sitting on the shelf for the hell of it. Its a gamble whether or not it will work well (better than what i have now) with my heads.-Joel

Seems like some diaelectric grease on all the plugs was all that was needed to tune up the missfire. Shes running strong again!

Agreed. Although im not sure what the fire had to do with the connection within the spark plug boot when the wires look fine, but ... whatever

I would think the heat could liquify the grease and make it run out.2000 Trans Am l 1967 Firebird

I honestly never had any di-electric grease on it in the first place and it was fine, but had there been any... absolutely.Originally posted by Lucky SOB View Post-Joel
