Spark plug wire number 7 (or 8)

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yas, I use them, but only to remove the boots when they are stuck on the
plugs.  I doubt you'll have much luck getting them on a 440's #7 plug.  By
the way, when you are reaching down there, be VERY careful not to put any
pressure on the brake booster vacuum hose.  Those plastic check valves get
very brittle with old age, and you don't want to snap one off - that will
ruin your whole day!
