Help an old man tune a new to me 340

If you want to go this one better, you can take a compression tester air chuck fitting and use it to keep the shish-kabob stick centered. Lacking a compression tester, you can break off the porcelain (flush with top of plug) from an old spark plug, chuck it in a vise, and using a pin punch, drive the old center electrode out leaving a hole just the right size for a shish-kabob stick. You will also have to remove the ground electrode (duckbill pliers, bend it back and forth until it snaps off)
Great idea! I'll make one from an old spark plug.
