Good handling, not bad acceleration, roomy enough for me and I'm a big

have to change them every 1000 to 1500 miles.

Weird, never saw anything like that. You sure you
were using the right ones ? Cant see how any
engine can develop a fault that eats spark plugs.


The AMC 232 6 cylinder used to foul #5 pretty regularly. I had one and
2 of my friends had them. We all had the same plug failing. It was
always #5. I figured out early on, you just chipped out the fouling
and stuck it in one of those powder abrasive, air power, plug cleaners
and it was good as new. I used to keep a couple in my glove
compartment along with a plug socket and a crank style speed wrench
under the seat. I could swap that plug at a long light.
