[Tigers] Spark Plugs

[Ron Fraser]

David

                I used some double platinum spark plugs in my 91 Escort – that low compression engine blew the platinum puck off a couple of the plugs after many miles.

When one of the platinum puck blows off, the spark plug gag just about doubles.    The engine ran rough and misfires were frequent until I installed new plugs.

This was on one of the Mustang sites about platinum spark plugs, thought it might be of interest, I don't know if it is true or not.

-----------------------

I used to use the double platinum Autolite APP-45's. I was warned off of these by the customer service at MSD. They didn't want the ignition system working any harder than it had to in order to produce a spark. The platinum tip(s), being less conductive than copper, make it harder for a spark jump the gap. With this knowledge I jumped back to the old style copper plugs, Autolite 45's. Being softer than the platinum types, they won't last as long, but that's a secondary consideration for me.

I bought a set of ASP 45 Autolites at NAPA 2 months ago.  Supposed to be an exact replacement.  No trouble installing other than the usual tight negotiating space :-)~

Ok, so I am guessing that Autolite BF42 spark plugs are not found on the average street corner anymore. So, what are all ya’ll using for plugs in your box stock 260 engines?  Something I can find in Pahrump, lol… near the ends of the earth, we are…
