capacitor discharge spark plugs

[Geff McCarthy]

I have used these on my old Rovers, up to the 90 Sterling which had modern electronic ignition, (Honda-Rover V6 2.7L). There is a noticeable increase in idle rpm and easier strarting. I looked on line and Pulstar popped up. 78 400 in my 63 Fury. Anyone with experience with these?

There's no such thing as magic spark plugs. Except for NGK.

Can you supply a brand name of the plugs or a web site link. Never heard of the brand/type. It really does not matter WHAT generated the spark pulse other than the voltage generated satisfies the ignition system components or engine requirements.....

The only thing "magic" about the NGK brand (-5 heat range) is the sheer number of users think they fix all ignition problems......and the amount of $$$ spent searching for the exclusive solution.....Just a casual observation.......

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE AND SITE LINK......very interesting concept......somewhat limited application. Would be nice to see a heat range chart and cross references. Even cross to NGK, CHAMPION, AUTOLITE. I could not find a cross listed to plugs for my 2024 Cadillac Escalade with 6.2 liter engine and the equivalent of my 440 six barrel GTX, using CHAMPION J-11Y or UJ-11G or HO-8A, which are 3/8" reach plugs.......@ ~ $ 20.00 each.....a little expensive but ????. Where can they be purchased???.....

Wow, the ignorance! I have done a lot of testing on ign systems....& spark plugs DO make a difference. It may be slight, you may not feel it.....or maybe you will feel it.

[1] I tried the Pulstar plugs in my GTO. Idle was definitely smoother. Had them in for about 6m, when one failed. I went back to NGKs as what I wanted to know was proved.
[2] When the Bosch Super 4 plugs came out, I tried them; they had 4 grd electrodes, & the spark was exposed more directly to the mixture. No, you don't get 4 sparks, but the spark 'selects' which grd electrode it will spark to. The plugs should have a long life because of reduced electrode erosion. As soon as I drove the car, I got surging at about 35-40 mph. Only the plugs were changed. Put the NGKs back in, no surging....
Now what? I have paid for these plugs...
So I cut off 2 grd electrodes.....&...could not feel any surging. However, I wondered if there still was surging, but I couldn't feel it. So I went back to the NGKs.
[3] A test by D. Vizard that resulted in a large HP loss...from spark plugs.
