Champion Spark Plugs **RANT**

[disciplerocks]

Motorcraft coppers for both my vehicles. Nothing else. And any auto parts place will carry them.

I'll be the odd one out LOL.

NGK V-Power. Before our BII acted up last week with what appears to be a FPR issue? 20 mpg using NGK's V-Power series. Added bonus, they are not that spendy.

S-

I've used the NGK v powers for years and never had a problem w them. Getting ready to put them in my 4.0 for my B2, so ur not alone.

Can you buy Motorcraft spark plugs anywhere else besides the Dealers serivce Department?

I know you can get the Motorcraft oil filters at different places, is the spark plugs a dealer only item?

you can get them at autozone or parts plus, or anywhere pretty much.... sometimes even wally-world.

i only use motorcraft! bosche(in fords), and champion are junk!

Try that in a duraspark or TFI system. I bet they won't work nearly as well.

Autolite Platnums have worked quite well in my Ranger for close to three years... haven't touched them since before I did the swap.

I run Motorcraft in my F-150 just because the the $100 a pop COP makes me nervous with anything else.

I run Champion in my old tractors and never have had a problem.

+1 on autolite single platinum they are about the closest to motorcraft stock plugs you can get in my opinion.

It's a good idea to check any new part,plugs or otherwise before you install it or even before you leave the store. I got Autolites last time from Autozone....on one plug the center electrode and insulator was tipped towards one side,not just a little,a lot.

That is good to do with anything, I had a shotgun shell with the slug in it sideways. Anything manmade will have a couple bad apples once in awhile.

me too, it was a remington rifled slug with a pic of a deer on the side,lol. i forget what they were called but man, were those things powerful and acurate! but 1in15 would be crooked if not sideways.

Probably Remington Slugger (rifled lead slugs). Good slugs, for a low cost, and awasome hole punching power.

Advanced can get them. Not every store stocks them, but I know that they can get them.

I stick with what the factory put in them. Spark is spark...doesn't matter how big it is, as long as it ignites the air/fuel, the ignition will do the work. The spark plug is just there to make it go boom. I could never wrap my head around why ppl put the Bosch plat. +4's and whatnot in their rides...makes no sense at all.

As for Champion...it was a good plug once upon a time, but i think it's made in china now, so yeah, build quality suffers.

I have Autolite Double Platinum and Autolite wires in my truck. I don't have any problems with them. They work pretty damn good. I was going to get the Xtreme Performance ones but I figured that the Double Platinums would do and haven't regretted my choice.

no kidding, the cheap crap didnt work for you? i know not all things apply to this rule, but you usually get what you pay for

 

[RustedRanger]

If spark is spark why do top fuelers use three magnetos and three plugs per cylinder?
