The old cars required work every 10,000 or less.

Yeah, I've got a dwell tach, timing light, and vacuum/pressure gauge
that are getting really lonely. I checked the valve gap on one of the

The last time I installed spark plugs, the darn things had two side electrodes with platinum in groves in them and a platinum tipped center electrode. I think it was back in 2009 and the engine, a 318, always cranks and runs smoothly. ^_^
