Hiho!
I purchased my Delco 60gs a while back and the weather got to 40 degrees and I swapped out the plugs. They were a mix of AC 13s and Wellmans.
I commented to the wife, that Mr. Murphy was not around, though I had to stretch to get some of the back plugs out, it all went well. Even grinding the new plugs to the same size was a snap.
I reattached the wires and went to start it up and something in the engine compartment started smoking!!! ack. Murphy came back from the store with some beer apparently to watch the fun. The **** thing didnt start any better either.
Looking at the photo here (Credit to Micheal of Steel Solders) whatever is behind that black bracket, behind the airfilter, started to smoke... and kept on smoking while the truck started.
I have not done the 24v to 12v bypass (still trying to find the how to guide on the site, but will eventually). I had read, it was not necessary to do the bypass with the Delco 60g plugs. Was that wrong?
Has anyone had a similar experience?
