Lee Eyler,
Hello there. How's ol' N95598 been flying? Are you still keeping the airplane in Austin? I am back in Texas now....living in Moody near Temple. I've been flying a lot in my father-in-law's 1939 BC-65. We should get together sometime. Are you going to the fly-in at LaGrange next month?
As for the spark plug torque...stick with the book value. Don't forget to use a little anti-sieze on the threads but take care not to get it on the electrode or on the first couple of threads. That stuff can cause improper sparking.
See you,
Terry Bowden
