For the last several months during what little free time I've had on Saturdays, I've been trying to sort things out on the 57 carb and manifold swap on my 56 Fairlane.
It wasn't running quite right despite countless adjustments on the ignition and carb. When I finally started pulling the plugs to check them, I found that #4 plug ceramic was busted off. The wire with busted of top wasn't hanging so it never was obvious.
It was only running on 7 cylinders and trying to get it to run good wasn't going happen. It was that it didn't seem that bad.
Now with all 8 cylinders firing it runs great!
