[DMCForum] Re: HA!!! Crag make fire!!!



Uh....I have some old Champions that were in the car when I bought 
it. I do plan to replace these today along with the coil.

I don't really know if they're "right" or not. The engine did run on 
them before but they could be too cool for our uses.

Did you read my last post, "More on the Scientific Method"?

Tell me what you think. I'm concerned I'm drawing the wrong 
conclusion.
