I'm with you on this one Ed. I have had nothing but bad luck with Champion
plugs for years. They didn't work well in my '70 Honda 100, '64 Chrysler,
'58 Triumph, '84 Porsche, '76 El Camino, '89 XJ6, '94 Miata or '00 Mustang
GT. Champion plugs suck. I have no idea why I continued to try them since
an $0.89 Autolite from Kmart worked better. I always ended up with plugs
made for performance, NGK.
I have never had a fouled NGK plug in any car, and only one fouled NGK in my
dirtbike which is a 500cc two cycle that runs very high compression and lots
of fuel. It should foul more often, but only ever once.
I have NGKs in the Healey and my Wife's gasser, and if possible will never
use anything else. My driver is a diesel so I don't require spark.
Cheers,
Chris

<<Maybe it is a British thing with Champion plugs...>>
No Bob, as the gents I mentioned down in Springfield (IL), NATIONALY
campaigned (quite successfully too<G>) a Volvo 122 !!!!
SAME prob with Champions<F>!!!!
Personally, I use BP6ES (in both Hortense & Murial (Wife's Black Tulip MGB)
BUT every motor (and it's "condition") could require 5s or 7s. Just one of
the things that each car MAY need to have tailored to them. Also, do NOT
forget that if Radio equipped, you will need the 'R' Model<G>!!
BTW Bob...

I had NOT realized that in '87, Prestolite had PURCHASED L/N !!! Hadn't had
a reason to check out their site until this subject arose.
