Reminds me of a long time ago when I belatedly decided to change the plugs  
on "Joe Cool" (son Jim named him after the Snoopy character since the  '66 
Monza 95hp had A/C).  I found the plugs were so worn that the center  
electrodes were worn down to being FLUSH with the ceramic surrounding  them!!  The 
gap was so large that I had no gauge that could measure  it!  But the 
electronic ignition still kept all plugs still firing just  fine.
    Thanks for the memories.

Spark  plugs should be changed when the electrodes form sharp points. OK, 
before  then! ggg   With high energy systems, gaps can double in size and  
the engine still runs.
