Re: A nice little sparkplug trick

Damn, those are great tips, thanks a lot. It looks like the "indexing" wouldn't really be too necessary if you did the grinding trick. The grinding trick pretty much opens up the spark area. I'm gonna be grinding some plugs later today, LOL. Why can't the lousy auto manufacturers come up with more tricks that work?

IF ANYONE HAS ANY MORE OF THESE COOL TIPS, PLEASE POST THEM!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting sick of spending $50 for a fill-up.

Re: A nice little sparkplug trick

i can tell that the firestorm thing is bogus, theres no way it would give someone 50 percent better mileage. if so, then the major companies like acdelco would be making clones of them and theyd be selling like condoms during the apocalypse
