Default Sparks plugs stick out like a cm. except for one *pics

3 of my spark plugs pop out more then one. the 3 to the left all stick out and the 4th just stays intact, it starts and everything, i did get new wires because my old ones were cheap, and a new distributor, i was just curious.

Looks like theyre not pushed down all the way. Make sure the connectors arent bent or anything. you should hear/feel them 'click' into place.

Mine old d series used to do that all the time. I think I eventually figured out it was cheap crappy wires that weren't sealing right.

ok. i actually did this yesterday. listen closely. the wire running through the middle is seperate from the boot. hold the wire close to the boot with one hand and try to work the boot to where it should be. so just push on that and hold the wire. problem solved.
