If you'd like; for that engine, they're only using them to generate a spark, so it shouldn't make any difference. I assume you don't mean the plugs you took out of the Saab, of course; I'd be shocked (heh) if they're the right heat range and such. > and how should I tackle a slight leak in the radiator ? There are people around who like pouring that glop into the cooling system of a Saab; I am not one of them. I'll see what others suggest, but I'd go out of my way to avoid it, personally. Dave Hinz
