In North America, the preference is usually Hollow Points, but on the dark
continent, Solids are popular ... anyway, draw an imaginary line between the
carburetors, and try to put a couple rounds right in the middle, and on that
line .... just to be sure, plunk a couple in each carburetor, one in the
fuel pump, and one down the distributor shaft .... that should end any
further threats from that beast ...

OR ... hmmm ... I have been unable to get a really great tune since putting
the W8AC plugs in my streeter vair, stock ignition & pump .... maybe we
share something ??   Cold range plugs might start ok, due to the full
voltage at the coil, but in running, might be a tad cold ..... are you
running a hot coil or hot sparkbox ??   I am going to switch to a hotter
coil and put in a IgnitorII as soon as I get an hour or so (g) .... if it
cures everything, will report back.  I could just change back to 44f plugs
but geepers that would cost $4.....
