When competing in sprints my dad's EH Holden with the correct Champion and
AC plugs we were plagued with a high RPM misfire, a really bad misfire,
much like fuel starvation, over about 5000 RPM.
We had tried everything, the AC plugs, filters, different fuels, fuel line
insulation but the problem persisted. A long time club member came by and
suggested changing to NGK plugs and lent us a USED set.
We did and that engine never misfired again, absolutely transformed the
performance.
I've never used anything but NGK plugs since.
