<div>I hate NGKs although they are ok in Sprites. I use Champion UN12Y. =
However the backfire may be caused by dirt in the fuel bowls- happened to =
me when I unfortunately had to add some ethanol on a trip and it =
reacted to the Stabil in my fuel creating small black pebbles-cleaned the =
bowels and no more backfiring. Hank<br>-------------------- <br><br>From: =

<div>Gents,</div>
<div> A few days =
ago I replaced the sparkplugs, ten years old or more, with six NGK BP5ES =
plugs gapped to 35, and a Pertronix 3 ohm coil. I've not yet changed the =
wires, distributor cap or rotor. Today I drove the BJ8 almost 200 miles =
without incident at speeds up to 60 mph. While going 80 mph on the =
interstate, over a span of two or three seconds, the car bucked and =
backfired three times. I immediately dropped the speed to 50 and then =
gradually back up to 80 with no further backfiring. What could have caused =
this discomfiting turn of events? Thanks for your thoughts.</div>
