you need to get the correct spark plugs for your motor before you seriously harm your motor.

 

also you need a B18 distributor also not a D series one and check your timing.

 

replace your plugs and wires for the b18's. should decrease it. if not, check ur timing.

 

eh yall i just put in the ls distributor and changed back the spark plugs and everything( wiring 1,2,3,4) and know my car idles really bad, 1000 rpms and 2000rpms uop and down. i am thinking that i have a leak somewhere? at first i had to take the manifold out so that i can put in the back tranny/motor mount in and took of the intake manifold. i tighten down everything and put it back. i had a leak at the the throttle body and replace it with a new one, no bad ideal. but after i swapped the dizzy to the b-series it is idling bad know, cant seem to find out what the problem is!!! help thanks for posting though!
