Champion spark plugs?

[Squid4life]

Did a search and don't see many guys running Champion spark plugs. Anyone ever use the RV17YC? It crosses to Autolite 26, NGK UR4 and 45. Too hot? Too cold? I usually run the CR43TS's or whatever they are, but I bought a bunch of plugs and have about 30 of these Champions that supposedly fit the GN. Safe for no more than 15 PSI?



14mm Thread, 11.6mm (.460") Reach, 5/8" (16mm) Hex Size, Tapered Seat, Resistor, Copper Core, Projected Tip, Heat Range 17

Yeah, that is where i found the cross reference info. I am just curious if they are safe for average boost and driving. I know most people change out plugs and "upgrade" but never really dug into whether it was imperative or not. Thanks for the info!

And Fords. I run Champions in my 70 Torino 302, and my dad runs them in his 70 429. I got a ton of plugs for dirt cheap so I was seeing if I could use them for "daily use" in the GN. Nothing too aggressive...

I think for normal N/A engine champions might work but I'v lost marine blown big block in my boat because of champion plug I also work for GM and if I get a car with minor driveabilty issue and I don't see anything wrong right away but I see champion plugs in it .....guess what is my next step ...........this is just my opinion but I would never use champion plugs in TRs , what works best for me is Autolite , again my experiance

You're probably right. Just trying to be cheap and lazy. Bad combo with these cars...

Since you already have the champion plugs put a set in and give them a try.

See how they perform at normal driving around town and on the highway with low boost levels and then creep up the boost a little at a time to see if they hold up without causing any problems.
