Plugs smelled fuel fouled this time when I pulled them out. I threw in the old plugs that I pulled out of the truck and it fired right up. So I reset my carb and got a new set of ACDelco's to put in. Had NGK's (Figured they were alright since its the only spark plug used in my SAAB), gonna swap them in once the truck cools down.

Chicken and egg ?????
I once put two brand new Champions in a Cat pony motor and it wouldn't even putt! I don't remember what the deal was with the ones I pulled out, but somebody gave me a couple of old Autolites out of a junk bucket, and it fired right up. I think they were still in there when I traded off the Cat.
Some brands of plugs just don't work in some engines. Doesn't make sense, but ......
