Thanks,again guys I found it kinda funny I pulled the wire and the whole this came out.,good thing I didnt lose a plug on the road. Haha

Yeah all the high temp ones where to expensive and you had to cut and crimp them your self and I didnt want to put myself through that fustration haha

Fixed it hopefully. Keeping fingers crossed. On the passenger side there is a plug that is covered by one of the header tubes I went to pull the wire and it fell out hahaha so it seems to be firing fine and running fine. Lol thanks guys im now 100 percent ready for the car show ill be in tomorrow. Thanks again guys

Yup I took off the air cleaner looked at the cap and all the plugs. I just replaced all the wires a week ago maybe when I opened the garage again I checked all of them to make sure there was no burning or contact with headers

This has never happened until I put headers on .

There was no arching from distributor, wires or plugs

Stock distributor. Maybe 3 years old. Ill go do that now lol

sorry that this has been my first post in awhile ive been busy (girlfriend family stuff) but ive been having some issues with the monte carlo. though i got the headers to stay tight an other problem popped up ive been running really lean car has been misfiring backfiring and just running like crap. not i changed the spark plug wires and cleaned my spark plugs tied the wires up so theu wouldnt touch the headers and that work! for about three hours and it went back to misfiring back firing and when im speeding up to speed limit or keeping my foot on the pedal to stay at the limit it will hesitate and jump back fire run good then start missing again. i checked my plugs and wires again and everythiing was still good. no burnt wires or fouled plugs my dad told me it might be time for a new cap and rotar but i checked them out and they still look brand new. what should i be checking next? or has this happened to anyone else before? my gas milage is suffering i just got a new job and gas prices are rediculous right now lol. and input would be greatly appricieted. thanks

kill the spark as in take off a plug wire?

is there anyway of telling between exhaust leak and a stuck lifter? my lifters have frozen up before and my exhuast has leaked before..... i cant tell between the two so i went to tighten my headers and collectors i got that all tightened up and it still tapping im assuming its a frozen lifter but i want to see if there is a difference between the two sounds before i assume the worst any thoughts?

the tires i have on the monte are craking on the sidwalls its gonna be a few months til i can afford new tires but i have 15x8 wheels and im 90% sure the size i have now is p225/55 r15's i want to go wider what size do you guys recommend?

last year in order for the winter we replaced the choke spring it worked for.........two days?? can i bend that little rod that comes off the spring? will it work better that way or should i try to avoid doing that?

i bought loctite and some hi temperature form a gasket. i dont get why they rattle loose so easily

ever since ive installed the headers the bolts always come loose ive gone throught two paper gaskets already because the bolt will decide to loosen at the worse possible place where i am stuck with no tools. today i went to autozone and bought aluminum gaskets but how do you guys get your bolts to stay?

Besides the new headers and exhaust yes it is completely stock
