Any suggestions on which plugs to run on my 1380 Tuned morris? Standard champions? or should i be using different ones?
Thanks

Depends on how hot the combustion chamber is getting. If it's anything like mine (which I suspect it probably will be) then for 10:1 compression an '8' heat setting is pretty good. I use NGK BP8ES plugs and have found them to be superb.

Cheers Cam,
Just ordered the plugs, what do you set your gap at? Would it be any benefit to set my gap slightly larger, when i bought all the Aldon stuff the guy said i could make my plug gaps wider.

Well, I just set them to standard setting 0.6mm (or 25 thou), but you might be able to get away with up to 1mm. Actually, so might I, thinking about it! :lol:
