I had another Mustang 20 years ago with a 302 that started missing on one cylinder. Did a compression check and found that it wouldn't hold compression, I assume a burnt valve. Being poor and needing it for transportation, my dad (a true Okie) showed me a trick to get by for awhile. He cut the spark plug wire, taped a splint on it leaving about a 1/4" gap in the wire, covered it with a sliced piece rubber hose and taped all around it to insulate it. I still don't know how it worked, but the thing stopped missing and I ended up running it like that for several months until the car got stolen.
Just curious if anyone has heard of this and interested in any other creative MacGuyver fixes.
