I had placed a 10 inch 2x6 between the GP and the brake booster just
in case it came out explosively. Seemed to make a good dent in the
wood and then fell to the ground.
Now I am thinking it was really the starter that was giving up the
ghost and not the GPs failing. Can not get her to spin up enough to
light off. Glows just fine. As well, if not better than before.
Will be doing a valve adjustment in the morrow, as it is that mileage
and schedule. Was going to do valves, brakes and oil all as one, but
will be holding off on brakes for now.

IT CAME OUT
Well, I had to bump start her. Oldest boy was in the van pushing
me along the street to get me to 25mph. First two times it did
not light off. I forgot to open the fuel knob. After munching
the rear bumper shocks I got her to light off and drove around.
She was going great. Went up a few small hills, then down a
really steep one. Pull a U at a wide intersection, floor it up
the hill and half way up she just SPIT the offending plug out and
spewed huge clouds of smoke out from under the hood.
Now I am charging the battery, so that I can get the glow to go
long enough and the starter wind up fast enough to get it lit off.
