Back when we had a fleet of VW bugs (65, 67 and a 68)they would run much better with BOSCH plugs. They where hard to reach when we changed them. It would have help'd if there were an extra joint between the elbow and wrist.
Now for all the Shade Tree Mechanics.. I invested in an OBDII code reader so I know what is wrong. Came in handy this week when the old trunk developed a bad miss. The code turned out to be multiple misfire. One cap and rotor later she runs like a watch.
