looking for feedback on running these plugs in my 416 with nitrous ?
Dan I agree with you, I "thought" i needed them and you can email them with your engine and they will gladly send you a recommendation, well they never did, at that point I didnt think they were anything special, like you said it is impossible to get their phone number, I am wondering what plugs do you like?? are any plugs actually made in the US anymore??They're definitely more efficient -- at pulling money out of your wallet when you buy them. There's nothing new or groundbreaking about them, and the maker's claim that "the spark plug hasn't changed since 1904" is idiotic. I had to give them credit for at least having some valid science on their site. I called them up -- it was almost impossible to find their phone number; they've worked very hard to keep it hidden. It was nowhere on their site, and they deliberately left it off their domain registration's whois info. I did find it, though, and spoke to the guy who answered the phone. He claims the plug was designed by Champion's retired head spark plug engineer from the 1960s, who oversees production of the plugs...in China...by a subcontractor of a subcontractor. Whee, are we havin' fun yet? :roll: It's all sizzle, no steak. All hat, no cowboy. All litterbox, no cat.
Gimmicky spark plug scams are nothing new. Back in the days of gas price wars that started at 29¢/gallon and went downward from there, JC Witless had full-page ads hollering RUN YOUR CAR WITHOUT SPARK PLUGS! Back then they called 'em "fire injectors" rather than "E3" or "pulse plugs", but the claims, hype, handwaving and pseudoscience were just about the same. :roll:

yep I have autolites in mine now, but was wondering where they come from guess I should look on thier website and see if they say..The only plugs I could get to live in my 340 back in the very early '70s were Autolites. Been running them ever since in everything - except the lawnmower.
