This might be an important post, so I changed the subject line in the
hopes that anyone interested might open and read it.

Yes it is Dennis, who is way to polite to self promote so I will do it for him, sells a complete kit. I get my spark plugs from Ebay at about $1.50 a piece. It seems that my anecdotal observations are borne out by others experiences regarding the effectiveness of this mod. To save Dennis the embarrassment of self promotion I can tell you that he sells the conversion, soup to nuts, for $450 + shipping which if I remember is about $25, it is EVERYTHING you need apart from the wrench and takes about 8 hours to fit, I did not do mine as a nice mechanic by the name of Kirby Chambliss did mine  )) (it's a long story)
Get it you will be glad you did.

Gus,
Is this the American Champion spark plug conversion you are referring to? If so, I've heard that it saves you at least twice the money on spark plugs, to say nothing of making them easier to find anywhere.
I'm thinking of having Bill Blackwell add the conversion to 'Chang when we fly through PHX in April and he puts in the long range tanks. How long have you been using them in your Aircraft? Obviously you really like them.

So, if David can fudge the subject line...so can I. I'm currently trying different heat ranges of NGK spark plugs in an M-14P. My experience with these plugs in modified motorcyle engines led me there. But whatever brand plug you may use, remember that the as-shipped plug gap was set for car ignitions. Our magnetos put out less voltage but with more duration; a "fatter" spark. In thinner air (temp or altitude) some mis-firing may occur unless these spark plugs are re-gapped to the .020"-.025" range.
