RE: [DML] Re: DMC spark plugs

["robert parker" <roberthparker@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  I ordered a set of "Igniters" from a catalog similar to Sharper Image 
(can't remember the name, but I believe it was a proper name, like 
Harrington's)   The company Head Honcho also owns (owned) a Delorean.  They 
had a lifetime warranty, & had 3 electrodes extending up toward the center 
plug rod.   I've been using them for ~15-18 yrs. with no problems. They are 
occ. taken out & cleaned to keep things running smoothly.   Don't know if 
they are available anywhere any more or not.   They work for me.      Drive 
Stainless     Robert   VIN 6924

If you've boosted your car with a turbo or supercharger, then upgrading the
ignition makes sense, both in theory and practice. If your car isn't
boosted, then I agree with John that any "performance" increase is likely to
fall somewhere between nil and virtually non-existent. I agree that
replacing almost ANY 25 year old igbnition with almost ANY new ignition
could be like night and day.
