[FC] Best Spark Plugs?

Tue Mar 2 15:08:02 2004

   I agree with Tom!!  I have used Bosch platinum (W8AP) in all my 'vairs
(80 to 140hp) for years.  I have had better performance from them than any
other plug I have ever used, bar none!! They seem to have a wider heat range
than most. I once had a motor with a bad cylinder that would foul a regular
plug within 100 miles. with Bosch platinum I could get almost 1000 miles
before fouling out.  There may be better but I don't know where.  I have not
tried NGK plugs.  I'm happy with what I run!
   Also, I need to update my WEB page. Haven't done it since I moved from
the farm to a place with a ten car garage/workshop a little over a year ago.
I'll try to get it done after I get my ragtop ready for the Corvair
Gathering on Mar 19th and 20th in Mesquite, Nev.
