Re: [FWDLK] spark plugs



I always used Autolite plugs in my Mopars, could never get anything but my
lawn mower to run right on Champions . NGKs for the motorcycles (both
Japanese & Britt ), Bosch for air cooled VWs.

Hi all,

Back in the 1960's when I had a 1955 Dodge Coronet 6 cylinder stick that was
my every day transportation.  It was running poorly, so I deceided to tune
it up myself.  I installed a new set of AC sparkplugs, points and wires. It
ran worse that it did before I tuned it.  I had no idea what the problem
was, or what I had done wrong. I limped the old Dodge, which was about 8
years old at the time, to my brother- in -law's auto repair shop.  He opened
the hood took one look and said, "You can't put them @#%&%@ AC plugs in a
Chrysler Product"!.  He went over to the trash can and fished out an old
used set of Champions, that he threw out from a customer tune up, blew off
the dust, dirt and remnants of lunch.  He installed them in my car, and
needless to say it ran perfectly.  I learned something that day. It really
made a believer of me.  I always use Champions, even in my mini vans.
