Autolite spark plugs check these out please...and are my coil packs ok?

[benl1981]

I don't know whether these coil packs have been patched up before. Also, these spark plugs are platinum I believe but the gap is around 1mm. If I gap them down now am I likely to weaken them because they are old. Do you think they look old enough to replace or are they still good?

Thanks

I have nothing but bad experiences with Autolite plugs over the years. I only use NGK copper plugs, for ~$3 each they are unbeatable.

That coil pack looks to have been pretty hot, what do the others look like?

[benl1981]

I'll grab some coppers then and put them in, BKR6E I think I am going to get. All the coil packs look similar, like they have been pretty hot.

Is it a good idea to leave that cover off? I'd rather not but I don't want cracks in the coils..

I had my spark plugs changed last week,...first time since i bought the car in Sept. The spark plugs that came out were autolite and looked exactly like the ones in the picture ie. "burn" marks around the tip.

I had NGK BKR6E put in and the car mas not missed a beat since (was missing pretty badly before the change)

Good luck, but yes, i highly recommend the BKR6E for stock - mildly moded skylines!

Very nice to hear!!! They are the exact ones I just put in.

I was getting a little hesitation, hopefully these will help. Haven't taken it for a spin yet. Still have to put some pipes back on.

The autolite were also about 1.1mm gap. These ones are 0.8mm

Thanks for that
