    Motor is crapping at top end and suspect I may be going lean with the holley 125 pump--brand new but might be undersized for the carbs. I accidentally overfilled the oil by a quart after failing to seat dip stick properly and probably fouled the plugs in the process. (motor was crapping before this) That's why I want to start with new plugs and start eliminating problems. Doesn't have an afr gauge. Just bought timing light to check things out but the dam thing is a piece-o-crap and won't flash. I ended up getting the 3910x's for $32 so I'll try them out. if they have problems idling too long and fouling, I'll use them as race plugs for those trips to Mexico. Also motor tends to run about 210-220 in traffic probably due to the rad not having a proper shroud enclosure--very limited space between the blower pulley and rad--maybe an inch if I'm lucky. It's running 2 electric fans on the outside of rad but they don't seem to handle the heat. I'm trying to find someone to fabricate some sort of shroud.

    Thanks for the info Chris. I know I a guy who used to work at our sheet metal shop who also is into cars and he might be able to do it for me--if not I'll keep your bud's name on file.
