Re: sparkplug wires.
This some how reminds me of the guy that tied launch rockets to his
car that burnt up his brakes and blew out his tires before planting
himself in a cliff: http://www.wagoneers.com/pages/RocketCar/rockit.html

Re: sparkplug wires.
JATO, not launch rockets. No brakes. Actually the folks on the
Discovery Channel's Mythbusters sorta tried this and discovered that
it really wasn't that big a deal, although the rocket boosted vehicle
managed to outrun their chase chopper rather easily.
And then there is the Darwin Awards "Lawn Chair Larry" who floated
over Long Beach harbor a few years back with a weather balloon
propelled lawn chair...

That's what I'm hoping for. While in there I pulled all the plugs. Plugs
were in perfect condition. The old wires tested out just this side of fubar.
My only hope is I didn't eat another coil by waiting three weeks to do the wires,
cap, and rotor. ..time will tell..
Just finished up the 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis... man what a PITA. Wires, cap,
rotor, plugs, all fubar.. Fairly heavy arcing in the cap itself and one abraded
wire. That thing has the most wonky firing order and wire route. Kept messing
myself up by thinking Chevy....
