  The NGK's I just put in are the equivlant of HR8's.

  Bye the bye, I noticed when I pulled out the old spark plugs that
  they had a reddish coating on the tips.

  I once saw a chart showing different wear patterns on spark plugs and
  what they mean. I -believe- the red stuff is MBTE fuel additive.

  Can anyone confirm this for me?

  Lastly, I drove the DeLorean to the State Department (work) today. So
  far, I'm thrilled. Ice-cold, she fired right up with a perfect idle.
  I had power right out of the drive way and had a great run to work.
  The morning was cool and crisp. I had washed and blended it yesterday
  so it looked great.

  You should have seen the guard's face when I popped the door for a
  garage pass. :)
