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.

My father bought a '62 Rambler Classic in part because he was a firm
believer in 15" wheels but it had the 195. I don't recall engine
problems but staying in alignment wasn't its strong suit. He traded it
in on a '65 Dodge which was a short turnaround. Usually it was 5 or 6
years between cars.

I learned to drive on the thing as well as developing a dislike for
Romneys... At least it wasn't an American.
