NEW PLUG RELEASED FOR 3V ENGINES

RE: NEW PLUG RELEASED FOR 3V ENGINES
I would be wary of using Champions in Fords. I say this because I run a shop, and have found Champions to last only in Chryslers. After a few months they have almost ALWAYS started to misfire. As a result, I only use Autolites or Motorcraft in Fords. AC Delco in GM. Champions in Chryslers. NGK in Jap cars. Bosch in European cars. I'm sure someone will dispute this, just like oils, filters, etc., but this has been my experience, along with many other shops. Champions only go in Chryslers. When people come toshop, they are paying not only for us to do the work, but the experience, knowledge, and training involved to accomplish it correctly.
Also, if a plug breaks, there is a tool to get it out. However, if the porcelin breaks inside the ground strap shaft, that will require head removal. So guys, dont get the idea that it will ALWAYS be asomewhat easyto get the remains of the plug out. Remember that BORING video showing how to do it? The instructor in the video stated the removal of the shaft using this method was only applicable if the porcelin came out with the top part of the spark plug, or was able to be pulled out using long needlenose pliers. It was a quick mention, so I'm sure not everyone caught it. Its explained at 8:50-10:00 http://www.flatratetech.com/index.php?categoryid=4
