Spark Plug Qustion
I have a set of champion 3X spark plugs that were in a box when I got the car. When I look at them they seem to have a set of regular spark plug compression rings on them that are totally flat. In the same box there was a pack of thick rings listed as spark plug compression rings. All the pictures from the model A supply places show these plugs with the thick rings and not the thin flat rings. Before I try these, should I remove the thin flat rings and just use the thick ones. I really like the looks of the 3X plugs, and all the post I have read say they are the best.

Re: Spark Plug Qustion
All the ones I have bought and installed have the thick gasket...

Re: Spark Plug Qustion
I installed a set last week and they only came with the thick rings. These of course are the modern day 3X. Wayne

Re: Spark Plug Qustion
Thanks Mitch. The rings in the pack seem to have quite a bit larger inside diameter therefore allowing the rings to move a considerable on the plugs. Is this how they are, and they fit correctly when tightened up.

Re: Spark Plug Qustion
Maybe the rings I have are wrong. They look like that one, but you don't have to screw it on. It falls on with plenty of room to spare.
