Re: IML: 1968 Crown Convert spark plugs



tom, i have used champ plugs without problems but i am not married to them. the main issue with plugs is that they stay clean and the gap is correct. your gap i believe is .035, so if they are staying clean you may just want to pull them and re-gap them. if you have only looked at one of them in 4 years it would be wise to pull them and check the condition of all of them. a little cleaning and regapping may improve the idle, but chances are you do not have to buy new ones.   dennis

I've owned my car for four years (third owner) and never touched the plugs. Are these considered a maintenance item which should be changed periodically or should I just leave well enough alone? I only use the car in the warmer weather. The most I put on the car would be 1500 miles/year and it's probably less than that. The car is running fine (maybe a little rough at idle). I pulled a plug and from what I can tell the plug looks ok. The wires look pretty clean and new. I did put an electronic ignition in the car when I got it.
 
The plugs currently in the car are Champion RJ12YC.. Should I change the plugs? What would you suggest I use? Any benefit to using a higher-end plug such as NGK Iridium?
 
Thanks for the advice.
