Right, George,
Craftsman 13/16 deep socket (with a friction sleeve for the plug)
works fine.

If you do, I'd appreciate knowing who made it (Craftsman?) so that I
could get one too.

that checking the plugs would be the first and most obvious thing
that one would do. In my own defense, I have to say that I do not
own a spark-plug socket that will fit into the well on the GTv-6's
valve covers. Most have too large an outside diameter to fit. I had
to wait until I could get the car over to my mechanic's shop before
I could check those. That's why I was entertaining all other ideas
first...

be the #3 spark-plug (passenger-side, nearest the firewall). The
Lodge 2H had carboned up so badly that it's a wonder that it ran at
all. My mechanic gave me a (used) replacement that he had laying
around and sent me on my way. The miss is completely gone. Ordered a
set of new plugs and when they come in I'll replace 'em all.
