If you, a cur owner, could visual
ize clearly the difference that old and
new spjrk plugs cause in the cora
bullion chamber of your enrf'ne, there
would he no iuetion in your mind
concerning the advisability und actual
economy of installing a complete new
set of spark plugs in your car every
M00 milea, or at least once a year."
With a new set you would ee a
b't, intense spark appl ed to the gas
mixture, causing complete combus
tion and leaving only the burned gas
to escape through the exhaust. iSuch
o spark and such combustion mean
thiii your engine is developing its
maximum power from the fuel 'used
that it is performing an it was de
ft gned and intended to perform.
With a set used for a year, or 10.
000 miles, you would see a weak spark
delivered tn the gas mixture. This
resulta in only partial combustion of
the charge, nnd the final ejection,
through the exhaust valve, of a large
part of that still unhurned gas. You
see good power being eh ;L into the
air, a sluggishness m your engine,
greater oil con-nmp:ion, slower speed,
rap d carbon formation on the pis
tons nnd valves, and an actual loss In
fuel.
This leaser performance is bound to
oucur with any make of spark plug,
even those with two-piece, gas tight
construction, special alloy electrodes,
Viilimanite core and aemi-pelticont
tip. which withstands the tremendous
eng ne utrexs and retards carbon for
mation. That is why it is real economy lo
install a complete set of new spark
plugs at least once n year. They pay
for themselves in oil and gasoline sav
ed, without considering at all the
improved genernl engine performance.
