Re: NGK Plugs
You can use .030 or .035 both will work fine.

Re: NGK Plugs
I gap at .025. Years ago I used a wider gap. Have a crab distributor and would have problems with carbon tracking in the cap. Probably poor cap quality. Tried several different brands, same thing. Dropped to .025 and have never had a problem since.

Re: NGK Plugs
As the gap is increased the energy that the coil outputs increases. At some point the coil output can exceed the insolating properties of the system. Because the of compression, most flatheads do not require that much spark energy.

When I put the NGk plugs in my 51 EAB stock engine, they ran very well for a few miles. Now I am getting a "fuzzy" carbon build up on the plugs causing power loss. What gap are you all using? What else would you suggest I check out? Thanks in advance for the help. |
