Well we all have seen the discussions on spark plugs the last few days and many of us gave an opinion. I work in an auto shop and my employer has been a mechanic for 31 years and a shop owner for 24. I told him about the plug discussions on this forum and did I get an earfull. He has spent hours on a car trying to make it run, checked compression , checked fuel pressure, checked timing and finally in desperation installed new plugs and a perfect running engine resulted.

He said that when Champion came out with their V-grove plugs , a very expensive plug, he had nothing but trouble and quit selling them to customers..and I thought Champions were an OK plug!!!!I am going to put a set of Autolite 3116 in one of my H's and see what happens. I know one thing..don't mention Champion plugs in our shop!!! I wonder if any Champion Plug Executives ever read our forums?????Cheers...Mike in Exeter Ontario
