Thank you for this video - I have just ordered 6s and 7s and will test them both and for £20 all in for both sets it makes sense. I had bpr8es when i bought the car and changed them immediately to bpr7es. 1380 engine running very rich so also fitted a wideband afr. I really like the reminder about gap measuring too.

Crystal clear and well done. Sounds like my very hard driven road 1330 with Megasquirt, Calver head and dual coil pack should stick with BP6. Per your instructions I need to squeeze down to 35 thou gap from the 40 I’m at.

Which is a trusted ht lead company to buy from please people. And which type. I’m using them on a standard ford Crossflow 1.3 engine. A viper 0.7ohm coil. Electronic ignition. Bp6es plugs. But this channel seems knowledgeable about all this even tho it’s for mini. Thanks for any help

I use those headsets sold by powerspark, cheap enough and the specific resistance is right in the range needed for classic engines. Fit a new set every year.

@@ACDodd fantastic I’ll call them Monday and get a set. I mentioned I bought their coil due to your videos. They knew the name!👍🏻 I gapped the plugs at 35tho today and it didn’t want to run great. When back to 25th and better. But I can know at all until I get some better ht leads. As mine are old and only standard. Thanks for the help. And great videos👍🏻👍🏻

I have an NGK distributor cap with the HT leads terminated with NGK resistor plug covers (LB05EZ) that contain a 5K ohm ceramic resistor. Are these plug covers robbing the ignition system of power as the R plugs do?
@ACDodd
3 ай бұрын
If that’s the only resistance in the system Then you are all good, but if you have resistor plugs and resistive leads as well then that’s too much
Does EI not make a difference? I have Accuspark and use their recommended plugs that go with the dizzy, HT leads etc

I've checked my coil (checked the leads on the meter first)it's a 2.4 ohm coil, I have a low compression electronic ignition, you clarified this a while ago , as I sent you a picture of it. plug gapped at 25 tho. Do I have the wrong coil? Should it be a1.5ohm? or is the one I have ok? Thanks for all your help. Tony@@ACDodd

6’s for road and monitor the plugs. If you do track days, put 7’s in for that work. Only go up a heat range if the plugs show signs of distress. I can’t tell how your engine will respond, that’s the whole point of reading your plugs

I have come across fake ngk plugs. Client fitted them to a high spec bmw and had issues. I swapped them for some genuine ones with genuine coils problem went away. Another aliexpress purchase.
