  4. HI I am Jeff Darnell Just found this sit and looks interesting. I have always loved cars and am always on the look out for that hidden treasure. Hear is a little info on me! Car One. At 14 I bought my first 1968 Mustang fastback out of a junk yard and restored it (limited budget lots of help). Didn't take long that winter to figure out that it was to much work and money to drive it in the snow. Car Two. At 16 I bought a 1967 RS/SS Camaro for a winter car (please don,t laugh it might hurt my feelings) It was not a bad car but needed quarters and paint. by spring it needed a front fender. Limited damage from the fence ( a camaro will not go or stop in snow). Perfect opportunity to restore right. Still no winter car! Got smart 1500$ F250 4x4 car three at 19. Graduation and a real job saving up to buy a house and living at home with my lovely MOM and DAD. Dad loved my hobby but with his 54 vette and my two the garage was full and that meant scraping my moms windows, no problem I am saving up for a house is what I told her. Oops found a 1969 427 corvette in pieces. Dad and I just got done restoring his 54 vette and he loved the 69 so i bought car #4 leaving the hood in the back hall to tell mom of the new car. The next words I herd from her were no more till you get a house. Thanks mom House check, Wife Check, Kids Check. 84 gt 350 Mustang Check, 31 Chevy truck Check. Sold the 84 still very sad. never sold another. The first two were built on a paper rough,and some side jobs, no silver spoon and lots of hard rewording work. thanks for reading . Jeff
  5. Steve sorry it took so long to get back (dead Computer). I do work for Champion but I am strictly on here as a hobby. My hole family is into cars so from a young age up (now 41) I love them. Dad has a 54 vette that we restored, my uncles had mustangs and A's. Now I love them all. I found this web site looking for parts for my friends 1912 Franklin and decided to join. And getting to work at Champion in the Prototype lab building the next great plug for the next great car is like a dream to me. I did not see it was a old post thanks for the tip. This is a link I found on line that looks good for trying to figure out what will work or if you give me some info i could try to look it up also Champion sparkplug symbol code decode Spark Plug Numbering System, Spark Plugs Symbol Code, Symbol Key, NGK, Champion, Denso, AC - Cixi Meiya Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. Most people have no idea how much tech goes into a spark plug. It looks simple till you get into all the different combinations. I am looking for a reference chart to help in applications. I believe this would help a lot of the problems. Torque on most 10 MM plugs should be 17 ft lbs. Thank for talking to me I hope to be on and see what is up. Also where do I go to put the cars I own a picture under my name? Jeff
  6. It sounds to me like the problem here is the fact that lots of you do not know the correct spark plug to use. Just because if fits in the hole dose not make it the right spark plug for your application! I take this a little personal since I have worked for Champion for over 20 years. We do not build cheap spark plugs and the j gap has be proven to be an exlent way to gap a plug. The fact is you can no longer get the proper plug for your car or do not even know what that may be. There is a Model A club (not sure witch one) has had Champion building the 3X for them for many years (here in the Burlington Iowa USA plant I personally have been involved building them ) just like in the 30's even the boxes and instructions. You need to get together and do the same so you can keep those cars on the road running good. Champion is dedicated to quality and innovation this I can insure. Please get your facts right before you slander. Ps the W18 is just the same as it has always been. The 25 is also a very popular choice for many older cars.
