        Nate,...if I had them I would do that. I need to buy a spark plug socket and rather not buy a whole kit.

          WRONG!!!!!!

          It's just a standard 13/16" spark plug socket.

            Yup, don't know why I hit a 5 instead of a 3.

                    If you live near a wally world ... ( who doesn't) you can pick up a set of three spark plug sockets for like 7 or 8 bucks. They are made by Stanley. A lot of folks don't care for their products because they supposedly don't harden their tools like craftsman etc... but for the money they are a good deal.

                      If you were running on I-565 where the Saturn V is 'under glass' you went right by me. Maybe I'll have both rides going by the next SE meet.

                        I'm not sure what road we were on. JWHughes could tell you (I think).

                        We came through Chattanooga over to Huntville then cut up to Memphis to go around the rain up in Tennessee.

                          I took HWY 72 across Miss, Alb. and 565 around Huntsville last Monday.
                          I liked it much better than I 40 with all the trucks.

                            +1 on the trucks. I40 sucks that way.
