Here's the whole story... doin a friend a favor by changing out the cap rotor and plugs, the plugs were terribly tight coming out so I used a little bit of lube down the hole to help 'em out. Now when I crank it sounds like the timings off and the plugs are instantly fouled. I thought the excess penetrating oil was fouling out the plugs but after an hour of pulling , and cleaning the plugs I was left with no improvement. I know I've got spark due to the acrid smoke eminating form the spark plug holes when ever I pull the plugs. This car is parked on a city street and I've got till Monday morning to figure it out. Can any one help me ease my worried mind

Was the car running OK before ?

Yes

Well... I'm an idiot, while working quickly in sub freezing temperatures I installed the ignition wires one place off on the distributor cap... thanx to txgreasemonkey for the prompt dignostic tips, I'm holding on to those. And to mazak for getting involved in my freak out... cheers
