Thumbs up

pondering the fact to get more spark from my plugs with some extra gapping, but of course the 7 plugs are retarded, so what i was thinking is taking the plug and removing 3 of the four electrodes and the gapping the one?? has anyone done this, and can i expect any problems from doing this?

dude, don't do that!



if you want more spark, do it the right way ... get hotter coils and an ignition amplifier (e.g. MSD 6AL, Crane Hi6, etc.)



if you feel you must play with plugs then find some single electrode plugs like the NGK B_EV's or something, though i would say not to go crazy with the gapping on those, too.

well i do have a hotter ingnition, and i noticed(playing around) that withe the plugs the spark get 10 times the size like thick evil looking spark when the plugg is gapped more, this is why i am pondering this.

It's harder to jump a spark across a wide gap in a running engine than it is in normal atmospheric pressure. Try it anyway.
