In my younger days of drag racing my 69 Super Bee 383mag,ALL i ever ran were Champions.Nothing else untill I built a 70 Javlin for my son and installed a new set of Champions only too have them gas foul right off the bat.After spending $300+ on parts to "fix" it I found the gas fouled plugs.Today I'll run anything but Champions. JMO guys.

Personally I don’t think Champion are what they used to be. I use Autolite in everything except Fords, I use Motorcraft.
My (free) 2 cents.

Hi fellas and gal,
I'd like to put in my 2 cents here. If you recall Ma Mopar installed Champion spark plugs in all their products and since they employed the BEST engineers who specified Champion spark plugs who am I to second guess their wisdom. I went to college to learn automotive mechanics and automotive machining ( 1969-71 ) and was a ASE certified Master Technician for 20 years. I rebuilt my first engine ( 332 Ford ) in 1965 so I've been around this arena long enough to know a little bit. In all my experiences I have always installed the brand of spark plugs the engine came new with and I have NEVER had an issue with doing it. I also clean and reuse plugs with good results ( small engines ).
I'm passing this message along to all. It was sent only to me but it was intended to go to everyone here.
Good news!
Thanks,
Gary H.
