One possible explanation for the wide variety of experiences with Champion
spark plugs:
A close friend and fellow Healey owner said he heard that Champion sold
different quality spark plugs [of the same brand name and model number] thru
different retailers. I initially found this hard to believe, but subsequent
comments demonstrated it might be true...

Hey Bob,
you wrote: : "Not a myth here....."
Didn't mean to be aggressive with the "myth" comment. Spark plug choice
seems to one of those things that gets people's dander up. What I find
confounding is how many of us, all upstanding Healeyphiles, can have such
different experiences. I do not know Ed or the other Champion naysayers,
but have no reasons to doubt them (someone correct me if I should), yet I
and a number of others have had a warm and rewarding relationship with
Champions. Weird isn't it? Champion have remained in business, so how
systemic can any problem be?
Just to see if I can further stir things up, my only bad experience was with
Bosch plugs in my baby-poop yellow Volvo 242 (remember that yellow? - Volvo
called it Safari Yellow - right!). Perhaps it was the colour clash with the
purplish pink insulator colour of the Bosch plugs.
Seriously, any theories on how we can have such different experiences?
cheers,
Mirek
