Spark Plug Question
Hello all..
Has there been any decission made as to what is the best spark plug for the " L " ?
I see some are using the NGK and other are using the Splitfires..
I know there is much debate about gapping aswell..
Any suggestions or recomendations would be appreciated..
Much thanks..

I found some really good spark plug info on a page called 'Chuck's Lightning Page'. I'll try to find the URL for it...

NGK V-Power TR 6. NGK says gap should be be 0.044". Danny Swanson says that's too big, mine are gapped at 0.040, runs fine.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Big Poppa,
If your not going to run nitrous go with the Splitfires. I've had mine gapped between .048" and .042". I really can't tell any difference. I would just gap them at.044". What you will notice is a big difference in throttle response.

I have had the tr6's on order from the local parts store for over a week now and this morning I find out they can't get them. I just spent the last hour studying the NGK catalog and came up with a # that I'm gonna try. It is NGK BR7EFS. Doesn't have the projected nose like the TR6 (which is good for a supercharged application and very good for blown and nitroused) Can't wait to get them in.
