"File away your spark plug troubles," says Jim Clark, 1965 Indianapolis 500 winner.

'File away your spark plug troubles,' says Jim Clark, 1965 Indianapolis 500 winner. Anyone with some knowledge of motorcars is aware that spark plugs—or sparking plugs as we call thom in Britain — need periodic cleaning and regapping to perform efficiently. What many people overlook is that a judicious bit of filing may be in order ai the same time. As plugs wear, their electrodes become rounded and require higher voltage to tire. Missing can result. robbing you of power and economy. Filing the electrodes so their edges are sharp again and adjusting the gap to correct spacing with parallel surfaces restores performance. -With sparking action occurting as often as 300 times per minute under extreme heat of combustion, the best electrodes will eventually erode beyond a point where they can be corrected by servicing. When this happens, 1 recommend you install a new set of Autolite spark plugs. All Autolite spark plugs have special nickel-chrome alloy electrodes for greater resistance to high combustion temperatures, corrosion and spark erosion. And Autolite makes its passenger-car plugs with the same copper and glass soeis used in Autolite racing spark plugs that helped me win the Indy 500. Some companies don't because it costs a bit more. but Autolite thinks the extra protection is worth it. So do 1. You're Always Right With Autolite
