Give Your Old Ford Falcon GT Some Sparkle with New Plugs!
> Spark plugs are the unsung heroes that spark the air/fuel party in your engine. When they're past their prime, your Falcon or Cortina might feel a bit rough around the edges, especially those older models. We're talking misfires, drinking more petrol than a V8 should, and generally not running like a dream.
Signs Your Spark Plugs Might Be Toast
• Engine's misfiring, especially when you put your foot down.
• Idling like it's got the hiccups.
• Fuel economy's gone down the gurgler.
• Struggling to fire up in the mornings.
• That pesky check engine light's decided to say g'day.
Will it pass WOF?
Failing or damaged spark plugs can cause your engine to pump out too many nasties, which could mean a WOF failure. No one wants that!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, extension, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
