Sprint plugs current wisdom....

#1 Post by Jon Tilson »

Okay all you Sprint experts...

What is the best deal with spark plugs atm? I cant find any of my preferred bosch plaitinums....

So any recomendations? Also what's the feeling about leads and coil and resistive matching these days?

I run mine on unsupressed old copper leads but this is unkind to local radios....:-)

This is quite a standard car, nothing fancy cam or electronic ignition wise afaik.....

NGK.

There are some nice sets available from Magnecor. A suppressed type with decent plugcaps.

They also sell a very nice and original set for the sprint. Quality plugcaps and if you replace the original hat's that seals the camcover the looks are original but with a modern cap. I did develop this set with magnecor as for some sprints i would like to have the original look so with a bit of experimenting their side and tryfitting my side it became a nice set. MikeyB did send an original plugcap at that time for me to magnecor so they had an example. I do not have any shares in magnecor but if you ask for a dolomite sprint set original type you will receive it. If you are so very very happy with it and overwhelmed any donations are welcome ofcourse :woohoo:

You can have them made with the plated copper core black non text non resistance leads or with the black resistance lead they use in the normal set.

I'm running piranha leccy ignition with magnecor leads and twin electrode golden lodge plugs which works well, I normally run Ngk's but the golden lodges where just there, I believe Bosch super 4's will fit a sprint,not sure how the 4 electrodes would make much difference though.
