Perhaps I should have used the word "impedance" rather than "resistance" in my last post. Regardless, due care need to be taken when using spiral-wrapped silcone wire and motorcycle plugs. They work great but pay attention to:

  

 - Use 1/2" reach plugs only.

 - Select Resistor type.

 - Mid-range heat conduction rating.

 - I prefer solid terminal rather than the threaded type cap that can work loose.

 - Keep the gap under .020"

 - Don't over torque.

  

 Always buy a few extra since they are brittle and can be damaged by dropping or get a case of "wrench rash". I never clean them, just replace at annual. The built-in crush washer is only good for 1 tightening anyway. A good price is about $2.00 each in packs of 10, as found at internet stores.
