Cylinder # 6 misfires.

It's a three inch hole. I plan to use a rubber body plug. I have some on my 71 Alfa Romeo Spider. I have not looked for any yet. Thanks.

If can find rubber body plugs I will use those. I have some on my Alfa Romeo that are just too small. Otherwise I Will use a sheet of rubber cut to size.
 






Would something like this work for you?

I think they would except the wing nut would cause a bump in the carpeting. I think a flat sheet of rubber with spray on glue. This has been a very hard process in my back yard and a little time to work each day. I have 5 plugs changed and 3 wires. It's not missing finally. I have to go down the road to advanced auto to clear and check the check engine light. I should get plug number 5 in tomorrow then if that works well in will change the wires. The old plugs electrodes were almost gone. It looked like a huge gap.
I am very glad it was not something more expensive. Thank you for the great advice! This BB saved me a ton of money!
 






If you've got an Android "smart phone" and can download apps, I just bought some OBD transmitters through eBay for just $9.35 w/free shipping (at that price I bought 3). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-ELM327-V1-5-Interface-Bluetooth-OBD-2-OBD-II-Car-Diagnostic-Auto-Scanner-/310678002251?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160

I installed OBD Check (a free app) on my phone. It pairs-up easily via Bluetooth and I can read the codes, clear the codes and look up the reason for codes on the Internet without leaving the app. Using these tools, I can read a lot more information than could get from my dedicated scan tool - which I've placed on the shelf. (Delivery directly from China takes awhile so order early).
