[Healeys] Champions(again)

[Peter Ryner]

Years ago Champions were the only plug that would run in my Spit.  Others 
fouled in very short order.  Finally found out that the nipple of the coil 
was cracked causing the real problem.  Only plug I trusted for a lot of 
years - until the platinum plugs came out
