We have always used the Champion plug also. Never a problem. Enjoy.

Re: Which plug do you run?
I'm running Firestones but only because they were in it when I bought it. They run fine so far I've driven maybe 1500 miles.
I'm going to put in the Repo Champion 3X's soon.

Re: Which plug do you run?
Duke, since I installed my 5.5 head it seems to run rich with 3X (No other changes). Did you find the same? and that is why you run the W18's. I was thinking of trying the W18. Thanks

Re: Which plug do you run?
See Larry Brumfield post of 6-29-10 for info. on plugs.
YBlock, our 5.5 w/ W18's (new no. 518) runs a nice tan color and the price is right per plug. We ran TT10's for awhile and the car likes the 518's with a Marvel carb. Note this is w/ FS zipper ignition which we're going to change back to modern points due to advance issues on hills and see how that works. Also, I use small amounts of lead substitute and ethanol stabilizer in gas (but not sure how much effect that has.). |

Re: Which plug do you run?
Lot's of discussion/opinions about heat range, etc. We tried different plugs we had on hand to see what works for our set up, so others may have different experiences.

Re: Which plug do you run?
ANYTHING with the right heat range & burns CLEAN!
There are NO "MAGIC" Spark plugs! Driving with "GUSTO", helps to keep plugs running CLEAN. LOOOONG idling sessions crap them up. Bill Smooth
