Dont let GM hear you say that, they actually use AC (Delco) spark plugs, Chrysler used the Champions,,, And stick with the recommended heat range or maybe 1 range colder if you drive hard, All the heat range is, is how quickly the plug dissipates(?) heat. too hot and the electrode stays red-hot and you get pre-ignition (Very bad)...too cold and you dont keep the carbon and other junk burned off the plug and get mis-fires. Colder plugs will have a short, fat center ceramic electrode post to get the heat to bleed off into the cyl head quicker, while a hot plug will have a long, thin center ceramic electrode post to let it stay hotter. |
