Larry, congratulations on turning a nasty into an experience! Whatever happened to your polystyrene (I think) streamline addons to the struts? Did they work out ok....I am going waaaaay back of course but I THINK OF YOU everytime I think of streamlining the wing struts.
Also, I had the very same thing happen to me in my Firestar, one plug wire came off due to the plug nut backing off ....fortunately I could kill the ignition and just glide into my field in Ohio at the time, several years ago. Good Idea to bugger up the nut or check the tightness periodically. Am surprised, however,that your plane didn't shake horribly with only one lung workin, and that the throttle didn't work to some extent. As I recall, mine did.
