spark plug advice

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

My reasons for not using Champions is that they just plain don't make the car run as well & they wear  out far faster then Autolite plugs do.

Autolites (#89, I think, is the correct model number) and never, ever, ever

Bah humbug. If you're going to make sweeping statements like that, give us
some credible reasons. Does Champion
not make an appropriate heat range? Are the threads cut wrong? What?
For ANY given brand of spark plug (or
oil, or filters, etc) you will find someone to say to never use that brand,
always use this other brand. I don't have any particular ax to grind, the
majority of my cars and motorcycles are running NGK, but we do have
Champions in the '73, which starts
instantly and returns 18-19 mpg on the highway, with 89k on the odometer.
It's a moot point in this case, as the original poster clearly had a
carburetor
which was dumping fuel down one primary bore.
