Ford plugs in my vette.....

[mrvette]

Had some engine running problems when 'cold' meaning maybe 75F over night.....and after the repairs, the thing ran like shit when 'cold' when it hit ~130f it smoothed out.....

I had bought FORD Autolite plugs for it, same looks, BUT made in CHINA.....

I saved the old Champion plugs that were in there for years.....cleaned them up and finally put them in this AM, weather was more or less tolerable in that I did it with just three changes of T shirts and two changes of briefs......

and let my shorts under the fan for a hour.....FLORIDA!!!!


and so took it out for a test drive....the old Champion plugs ran fine, cold/hot, whatever....pulled like a BANDIT uphill and I wish I had payed attention to the parts guy who commented he would not put FORD plugs in a GM product.....

BUT in all honesty they LOOKED IDENTICAL any comments as to WTF???

Gene - its all in the NAME. Those were CHAMPIONS - and the others...autoLITE!
Is this a new Joke of the Day? :beer:

No clue - but couldn't resist your so perfect setup - you ole straight man.

A spark plug's a spark plug's a spark plug. What brand of engine it screws into makes no difference. I wouldn't put Champions or Autolites in my lawnmower. I run NGK now, but also ran Bosch or Accell in my previous bikes & cars. Haven't used a Champion since probably 1980.

NGKs or Bosch on almost everything here. I think I have an E3 in my chainsaw.

I did put a NOS antique set of Champions in my dad's 1930 Ford AA several years back, replacing a widly mismatched set that were in there (I think there was an Edison, a Champion, and who knows what else).
