Advanced spark plug MOD....

"So it’s time for a tune-up & you’re interested in better mileage and perhaps a bit more power. You’d like to maximize both the expense of the spark plugs and the time spent changing them. Well here’s a magic trick that has shown up to 22% increases in torque and similar increases in fuel efficiency. While many of you have heard about indexing the spark plugs, we're going to go even further and turn the plugs into pencil torches This will make it virtually impossible to have misfires and promote a much more complete combustion, yielding more torque and mileage."

That is a VERY cool mod; what a smart idea!
:idea:
Unfortunetely I don't have the type of plugs that I can try it on. Has anyone tried this? What sort of results have you seen with the 3AC?

I indexed my plugs...and even that was fairly difficult...strangely enough. Haven't been able to test for mpg.

To do that plug mod would take some extreme care..you'd need to punch in some drilling marks very accurately to center things...and be careful when drilling...not to mention bending the ground electrodes.

I don't think a set of copper core plugs would cost more than $2 each or so....they are conventional plugs.
