Accuspark spark plugs

[Graeme / New Zealand]

Anyone know anything about these plugs. There are some adverstised here on NZ Trade Me (see link). I think they are English, I did a web search on the company. Maybe our "Pommy" resident v8 guru Mart can help?

Don't know anything about those plugs (except that they must be solid platinum $$)
Have used similar E3 plugs that make the same claims and you would be hard pressed to find any measurable difference compared to a standard plug.

No experience as such, however, electrical law dictates the spark will take path of least resistance; it will not magically split to all three grounding electrodes, so, in this case, having three ground terminals is just a gimmick.

Just to add to your statement..........

"Spark will always jump to the cooler of the three surfaces etc""

Jim, does that mean the spark will alternate between 3 surfaces, assuming the 'last-fired' is hotter,?

Accuspark seems to be pommie stuff, I bought an Accuspark electronic ignition setup for my Triumph Herald. It works fine , but as with most stuff its probably made in Ching Chong. I wouldn't think those plugs would do a damn thing on a flathead.

They had those type of plugs in the early 50s. I had a set. Don't remember if it made a difference.

The precious metal spark plugs need a modern high voltage (read that = enough current to weld with) ignition system to stay clean. They often don't work well and foul quickly with older low voltage / low current ignition systems like those in our pre WWII cars.

I would not spend that kind of money on a spark plug.

if they are anything like the split fire plugs,the splitfires must have split the fire every where but where it needed to be,I tried two sets in different applications,
sorriest plug I ever used, tossed them in the trash and went back to motorcraft/ AUTOLITE, jmo.

i would like to try those, not much more $ than regular plugs, i had twin prong plugs that would alternate which prong it jumped to every spark pulse or 2 when they were set right. Even if only because it looked cool.
