Finally got an oil filter for my 97 rebuild project I'm really making a marathon outta this one! Put in some 5W30 and with no plugs cranked until the oil light went out this is a great sign! Maybe this weekend I'll hunt down some factory plugs for it it had damn Autolites in it those go in a Ford! Get an exhaust manifold cause mine is cracked and see if it will start. I'll keep ya in the loop as to how it goes. thanks for all you guys help.

I run Autolite and Champion spark plugs, also. Got an angry email from the Suzuki Aliens, but I ignored it. Some sort of an intergalactic conspiracy to use NGK spark plugs in the universe . . .

Slap the old manifold on it and fire it up. You won't die. |

I got that one time as well ![]() If I'm getting 70 MPG in BOTH Geo Metros and BOTH use Autolite coppers, then that tells me there's nothing wrong with my choice of spark plugs... |
