Re: [FWDLK] spark plugs

[Jack Johnson <johnaire@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your right David,
   I had a Corvair Hooppie one time I had on a Scout frame and put Champions
in it and it ran terrible.  I put the AC's in and it ran fine.  The Engine
and transaxle was mounted to the Scout frame and I used the front axel of
the Corvair.  Just an open off road hot rod with just a roll bar.  I raced
it one time and it didn't run too well on the first run of the obstacle
course.  But it did become air born very well on the one jump going down
hill.  The second run, I had the AC's in the engine and it was running fine
and down the back stretch, I was going real fast and then it just kinda
stopped.  I got off and looked at the engine and the rear mount gave way and
the back of the engine was on the ground..so much for my racing career.   I
have the photos of it.
