What did you gap them at? Whats the code?
Almost guarantee you didn't get the plug wire completely snapped on the spark plug or you have a plug wire rubbing a hot header.

I was thinkin the same thing.... just check all the wires and make sure they are tight, they should click when theyre on. also check the coil side of em. prolly the last one on the pass side, its a bitch! Originally Posted by Hi-Po

Did you pull your coil packs to make room? If so, be sure to check that the main connector is fully engaged and that you didn't accidentally pinch the harness when you bolted it back down.

i am betting that the tick is the spark jump...
so i say loose wire or you have a broken plug body.

just as a pointer, make sure your plugwires on the coils "click" twice. Do it slow if you have to to hear it.
