<VV> Spark Plugs for 66 Turbo

[Eric S. Eberhard]

AC 44ff (NOS) which are readily available on ebay are good for stock cars 
but maybe a bit pricey these days.  Certainly these are perfect for a stock 
car and have the extra thread for the aluminum heads.

I have been looking for a premium plug for my 62 Spyder and Sedan with 
little luck until recently.  Most are too hot or have too thin electrodes 
(our old cars run rich and they foul).  The Sedan has a Judson supercharger 
and Petronix and MSD capacitive discharge ignition ... this is the car I 
tried first as it runs very rich and fouled plugs pretty fast.  The Spyder 
is stock except for the Pertronix.

I just found some unusual plugs "Silverstone" --> I think they are "6s" 
although it is easy to find out ... they only have a few models and you 
need 14mm with 1/2 inch depth.  These are very "old fashioned" in one way 
-- they even have brass gaskets.  However, they also have some high tech 
stuff including using silver (rather than platinum or whatever) which they 
claim is better.

So far I have had great luck but I only have a bit less than 2k on 
mine.  They are not fouling nor running too hot.  You might want to try 
them, they are between 6-7 buck a piece.
