[Healeys] Champions(again)

[Eric Frenken]

Kees,

I second your thoughts but would like to draw the attention to the necessity
of having 100% good HT leads, as current tends to take the way with the
least resistance. This is what current makes humanly.

Rick,
You are right up to a point. When you run a high energy coil or 
electronic ignition you also have to increase the gap of the plug 
considerably, thus creating the need for a higher voltage to spark. It 
is all about energy, a stronger spark through higher voltage and/or 
longer duration. The system also needs sufficient capacity to be able to 
release the extra energy.
In the standard set up of cars I have never come accross bad plugs 
although I have heard stories enough in the past about Champion being 
lousy plugs. If things went wrong with the plugs, it was usually 
carburettor related.
