basically just reversing your pits so your first pit is about 5 min. or so and then carrying on with the rest of your 7.5 min. pits .

Default OK I couldn't rest till figured out....

I just put an OS hot plug in it, a number 4 plug. He was using the os plug before so I thought that the taper was better off just going back to the os plug would help. It did, runs great... The hot plug worked great in the cold weather, it idled no matter what I did to the bottom so I leaned the bottom a bit and opened the top a bit and bam..he should be happy, I know I am..I told him to order a standard button just to be safe, but for now it at least runs good....The lesson, keep the plugs right in a turbo. If it's nova get an odonnell plug and use os plugs in os motors.....No swaping of brands.....
