273 spark plug mishap

i'll bet its an oil burner and the short plugs were used to pull the plug away from the oil. they used to make plug spacers to do the same thing years ago..

as far as having someone look at a car goes.. unless i really know the person and trust his opinion there is no way i'm sending anyone to look at a car for me. too many guys see shinny paint and thinks its a nice car even if its as wavy as the pacific ocean.. :)
