| Post subject: | Spark plug tubes |
Should I get new spark plug tubes and seals (are there seals that go there?) for my slant? I've crossed the 1/2 way point on the rebuild. I'm starting to put stuff back together with all the new parts and was wondering about the plug tubes. If so, where do I get them? It's for a '64 225 |

Inspect the tubes, the should be fine. But get new seals. |

Tube seals will be in the gasket set. They are the "square" cut "O" rings. |

Ok, thanks. Dumb question, but where do the seals go-between the plug and the tube or between the tube and the block? My engine didn't have any when I pulled them out-guess it's a good thing I'm putting them in. I'll look at the gasket set today and see if I can see where they go. |

They slip over the tube and form a seal between the lip of the tube and the block. (cylinder head) |

Don't forget to remove the metal ring washers from the spark plugs before installing them -- they're not used on '63-'74 slant-6 heads. |

The old tube seals may have stuck to the head rather than the tube......... |

What would happen if you didn't remove the washer from the spark plugs on a 70 198 /6? I just bought one and am having trouble getting it to start. I know I have some carb issues, but just caught this thread and wondered if this may be aggravating the situation. Thanks!! |

The presence of the plug washers probably isn't affecting the engine's ability to start. Tune-up parts and technique suggestions are in this thread. If you'll post a new topic here in the Engine forum detailing the problem you're having and what you've tried so far, we can help you get it solved. |
