| Post subject: | spark plugs just want to make sure |
hello everyone here , I am glad I have found this site. I purcased a 1969 D 100 a couple of weeks ago and am anxious to learn more about it especially the slant six motor. I have been busy doing various searches and reading tech articles, while doing this I read where it is suggested to use NGK ZFR5N plugs instead of the RN 14YC Champions. I bought the NGK plugs and noticed that the electrode sticks out about a 1/4" further than the champions, so is this ok and should I go ahead and remove the washers and install them? By the way the Champions I removed still had the washers on. |

The fact the electrode on an NGK spark plug is sticking out further than on the Champion plugs, is the very reason for using it! Apart from being a good spark plug, the extended electrode place the spark in a more favourable position for the ignition process. I believe the general opinion is that it is a very good choice as far as sparkplugs go. BTW, I forgot to say: Welcome to the forum! Olaf. |

Yup, you're good to go -- remove the ring washers and put 'em in. Additional tune-up parts and technique suggestions in this thread. Glad to see there's another Ontarian stepping in to join the community; I'm moving out of province in, um, nine days.

What should a set of those set you back? $20? $30? |

I bought a set of six from Summit Racing, about $20 shipped to my door.  Don't forget new drool tube seals!
