tried to make the poll thing work -not smart enuf....just a simple answer[Nothing they can use in court]:use a number between 1 and 3 1=GREAT product. 2=Kinda BAD EXPERIENCE/pretty Bad Product/bad taste too... 3= Total ****/stay away/would like a refund.
I use em; all the time. If you run headers that are tight, I highly recommend Accel's header plugs- they're about 1/4-inch shorter than standard plugs, which helps plenty in installation/removal. The U-groove design offers plenty of surface area for the spark. I like 'em. Scotch~!
Mayby I'm missing something on the lemon part, but I have quite a few circle track race customers that use Accel and NGK plugs. Many of the engines go +/- 600 HP on alky, and others with a few less HP on gas. No bad feedback on either.
i think he's referring to the fact that the insulators are yellow. pretty plugs, make me feel all fuzzy and warm inside
Foul really easy in Chryslers. Seem to be ok in Oldsmobiles, and even in Chevy's. Now I use either Bosch +4s or NGK. Jay
........I used to use them "back in the day" in my '65 Nova with a "factory" 327/300 and never had a problem......
2 used em in my trump chopper , don't take excess gas too well , foul up n die, left me standing on the side of the road moren ounce, BUT I was running 2 mid size Mikuni's so it was a bit rich.the header shorties saved some burned fingers on my 46 tho and worked fine , did'nt notice any power gain or loss in either case.
Use'em in my 355 with tunnel ram and two 600 Holleys. Fouls A/Cs faster than I can put'em in. Accels have been great unless I run pump gas. I usually run AvGas (100 octane) and have no problems. -slacker
I used Accel plugs back in the early 80s with great success and loved 'em. They worked better than any other brand in my big block Chevy, and all was well with the world. Then, I tried a set in a small block powered car back in the mid 90s and they ****ed! After fouling out a couple of sets, I switched to AC Delco plugs and the car ran great. A buddy at a speed shop told me (at the time) that Accel plugs were being made by Nippendenso, and that the quality was way off what it used to be back when I ran them in my Chevelle. Don't know if it's true or not...but it seemed logical...big company ships production overseas and quality goes into the pooper! I noticed the same thing recently with AC Delco plugs when I bought a set for the fabled 2.8 V6. They weren't the same old dependable R44TS plugs that Delco had always made...they were cheap-o Champion style paperweights! Guess NGK is the only good game left in town! (Though Autolite plugs have always worked well for me in applications where they are available...unless THEY'VE cheapened up like everyone else!!)
Accel plugs are made by "Denso". NGK plugs in high HP and NOS engines blow compression past the inner shell and back fire off of the plug wire until they finally take a seat. In a daily, low HP engine, you'll most likely never now this is taking place. Spark Plugs are like girls, everyone like's something different for different reasons. But, when your building serious HP, you'll end up with Champion plugs because they will allow your combination to make it's ultimate power. That's why all of the world champions use CHAMPION plugs.
