Checking spark
How do you check for proper spark? Can you check for spark strength? I would like to verify that every plug wire is send the proper strength spark to each plug.

Hook up a timing light to each of the plug wires and see if they are firing. Then you can go to an auto parts store and buy one of their spark checkers. It is just a tool that is basically a big screw that you screw or unscrew to find out how powerfull of a spark you have.

What do you mean screw or unscrew? In the spark plug hole? Don't they have something that would stick into the plug wire?
