<VV> What plugs for my 140?

[RoboMan91324@aol.com]

Hi Bill,

I agree that sometimes the "better" and more expensive model of something 
isn't necessarily better and is sometimes worse.  However, I am curious as to why 
in this case.  Can you tell us how Bosch markets the platinum plugs as worth 
the additional price, what the symptoms of the inferior performance are that 
you have experienced and what you think may be the cause of these symptoms?  Is 
it an idiosyncrasy of the Corvair that contributes to this issue while other 
cars actually benefit from the platinum plug?  I think that Bosch is a fairly 
respectable outfit and am surprised that they would market a clearly inferior 
product for more money.  

Please note that I am not questioning your conclusions.  Inquiring minds want 
to know.

Doc
