      Update: I had a cylinder go out (by that I just mean a plug died). I knew exactly why the previous owner one of his magical fixes that I have been finding all over the car. Apparently he was to cheap to buy a valve cover gasket and tried silicon and didn't get the spark plug tubes sealed up, soooo
      my plug tubes got filled up with oil and fowled out the plugs.

      So I purchased new NGK plugs, NGK wires, and some unknown cap and rotor.
      Installed all those today, and decided to go ahead and pick up a valve cover gasket kit with all the tube seals and bolt grommets, but I am saving that for friday.

      Pics

      two of the plugs where brown with white tips and the other two where oiled up

      goodies



      before I started



      first plug



      second plug



      third plug, oiled up to beat hell. The whole tube was filled with oil as you can see from the socket.



      fourth plug oiled up again



      old rotor, corroded pretty bad



      old cap, also pretty corroded on the contacts



      done with all my new junk



      That's it. Doing the valve cover gasket on friday.
