"NOTE: Side Gapping spark plugs has been the serious racer's secret since the early 60's. Only recently have major manufactures started producing this style of plug for mass production, but with unreproducible sophisticated designs, since if their expensive plugs looked like these, they would lose all their business to home mechanics copying that simple to do at home design. Experiment with different configurations and… Have fun!"

Results????????????

I did it on my roto-tiller today before using and it worked much better. Didn't stop up or have as much trouble running. I also found that not as much fuel was used on the same area we always do.

NGK plugs are about $6 a set and they are easy to get to...I'll try it this summer.

NAPA has a good set of plug wires for the wagon...fit real well at least.
