[6pack] [TR] Pulstar Pulse plugs

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

If I was to come across one of these plugs I would probably make the following tests:

a) Clip a sparkplug wire to its terminal and ground the threaded end against the block.

b) Start the engine and observe the fire across the gap. Maybe do this in the dark.

c) Make the same test with an ordinary plug.

Is there a noticeable difference in intensity, color, or other visual? Do a double blind test if in doubt.

Meanwhile, High Energy Ignition systems produce this noticeable higher intensity when a plug wire is positioned to jump to ground. Still, it only takes one decent spark to get the flame front going.  A larger spark does nothing further, once this front gets moving.

Assuming that this "pulse" plug is the real McCoy, the next questions might be "how long would they last"? Do any of the race teams use them? Are there further benefits if they're coupled with a HEI?

Then again, as noted earlier, Christmas is coming!

Dick

    In a post some time back, someone mentioned trying Pulstar Pulse 
plugs.  They have a pulse circuit that build energy like a camera 
flash.  I was skeptical at $25 each, but I'm gullible too:)   I put them 
in the TR6 last night after pulling a perfectly good set of NGK's out 
that had perfect color.  I was amazed to find when I turned the key 
after the car had been sitting almost a month, that the engine seemed to 
jump to life.  It idled nicer and I was able to take off the choke 
before I was out of the driveway.  Normally it needs choke for a mile or 
so when it's this cold(30 F).   I cant say if there's more horsepower or 
better fuel economy, but It definitely ran nicer than before.  Before 
the idle tended to be a bit lumpy due to the cam and roller rockers and 
very light flywheel.  It actually felt much smoother.  They might not be 
worth $25 a plug, but if you need a Christmas present for the 
car.......could be worth a try.      John Mitchell  76 TR6
