They're supposed to burn a little better. Also considering jumping up one heat range.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks. Joe |

Zack, try ND Denso plugs if you can't get NGK's. Don't do the Champion, autolight route. The ONLY car I run Champions in is my Jeep, since it left the factory with them.

QUOTE(underthetire @ Oct 2 2010, 03:32 PM)  Zack, try ND Denso plugs if you can't get NGK's. Don't do the Champion, autolight route. The ONLY car I run Champions in is my Jeep, since it left the factory with them. Here a 4 plugs (W8CC) from my 1.8L carbed with Weber 40's. They have been in for 2 years and about 2000 miles on them - plus a lot of time idling in the garage. I need to invesigate that #3 cylinder a bit more - but other than that they look good for what I think is a slightly rich-running motor. I installed new NGK B5ES to replace these. I took the car for a 3 hour drive and it ran great - I will report back in 2 years...  |
