What he said. I have NEVER had a gm car that ran well with Champions.

Although, here is a bit of trivia. Anyone know what the letters AC stand for (without looking it up on the internet)?

Albert Champion...

The only mechanic who could get my 1969 Z/28 to run right said that he wouldn't use Champion plugs in his lawnmower. He replaced the Champions with AC R43's. I used Champions in my 1965 Dodge Coronet though all the time, and they seemed to work fine in it. Maybe Champions just work better in Mopars than in GM's.

Back when I had the shop I only used AC's in GM, used Autolite (when available - if not then Motorcraft) in Fords, and Champions in Mopars (when I had to work on one - I hate Mopars).

I have had great luck with Autolite or Motorcraft plugs in my GM motors! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

I agree Autolites work well in GM cars, probably lots of others as well.

In fact, just put a set of $1.90 Autolites in a Ferrari V12 and it runs way better than it did with the high dollar Champion platinums.
