My 88 Jag and Karen, my niece, at the Fairhope Yacht Club

The Homefront

This is the Jag’s house.  If you’re wondering why I have a ladder and paint brushes hanging on the wall, they are my wife’s grandfather’s.  He was a housepainter and wallpaperer and those are his tools.  Lots of very old and unusual items.  The little room under the Dr. Pepper sign is my dive room with all my scuba gear.

Changing the spark plugs

Had to move the AC Compressor, Cruise Control Bellows, Throttle Capstan &  bracket and the Coil.

Somewhere in there are 12 spark plugs that need replacing.

Got the Distributor Cap off, now you can see a few of them. 

They say that you can get these out without moving the AC Compressor… I don’t believe it!

With the AC Comp. out of the way, the front plugs are a lot easier to get to.

New Distributor Cap and Rotor, new plugs

New plug wires…  Since I’m here, I’m replacing pretty much everything.

All done, it started immediately and runs MUCH better.

More to come soon…

We had a Car Show several years ago at the USS Alabama Battleship Park

I knew the Director of the ship so I got to take the Jag on deck… Pretty cool, huh?
