"4th" plug woes

[Chris Prugh <prubrew@ix.netcom.com>]

Eric,

        Sounds like somebody might have put too small a fan belt on your trusty 
Spit.  That is actually the #1 cylinder, and you should be able to get a socket 
on there.  If you can't get the correct belt right away, allowing the 
alternator to swing away from the water pump more, try loosening the bolt 
fastening the alt. to the arched /slotted bracket, removing the belt by pushing 
in on the alternator (toward fan), then swinging the alternator back toward 
wheel well, thereby accessing the plug.

Good Luck, and keep us posted.
