Yes, it's quite a spread of opinions. Kinda neat to see what folks have to
say about plugs and their personal experience.
I think What I'll do is get a set of Champs/Plats and set at 50 Thous's
and stand back. After all, it's only 4 plugs and after the money I've been
spending lately on that car, it's a drop in the bucket.
It should perform well, with the new Petronix, hot coil, fancy wire and
quality plug that coming in any day now.
