I don’t see how they are a waste as they cost 1.50 a plug on rockauto, A couple cents more than autolite copper. I agree with you about all the fancy stuff, I just picked them because they were cheap and seemed like a decent set of plugs.
I don’t want to get into up spark plug brand debate, there’s pages of that in the forum already. I was just curious if anyone had some actual experience with spark plugs in a warmed over smog 360 running pump gas.
I have no idea what the original application for this motor is, I was kind of thinking along the same lines with the GR4. Or an autolite 65, 66.
