Autolite – Copper Spark Plug: Delivers Quick Starts, Good Fuel Economy, Smooth Acceleration (Part No.666)

Copper Spark Plug: Delivers Quick Starts, Good Fuel Economy, Smooth Acceleration

from

$3.49
With over 100 years of engineering expertise and more than 11 billion plugs sold, Autolite continues to set the standard in spark plug technology. Designed and engineered in the USA, these spark plugs feature a copper-glass seal that bonds the insulator, terminal post, and center electrode together, ensuring full required voltage at the spark gap with a 100% leak-proof, gas-tight seal. The multi-rib insulator reduces the risk of flash-over, while the one-piece terminal post adds strength and durability. Additionally, the built-in resistor minimizes radio frequency interference (RFI) and electrode erosion, making these plugs a reliable choice for any vehicle. The tapered seat type further enhances the plug’s performance, providing quick starts, good fuel economy, and smooth acceleration.

Product Features:
  • Copper-glass seal bonds insulator, terminal post center electrode together; assures full required voltage at spark gap; gas-tight seal (100% leak proof)
  • Multi-rib insulator reduces danger of “flash-over”
  • One-piece terminal post adds strength
  • Resistor reduces radio frequency interference (RFI) and electrode erosion
  • Quick Starts and Smooth Acceleration: Designed to provide quick engine starts and smooth acceleration, enhancing overall driving performance.

Autolite – Racing Resistor Spark Plug: Enables Performance, Handles Intense Conditions (Part No.AR25)

Racing Resistor Spark Plug: Enables Performance, Handles Intense Conditions

from

$4.79
The ground electrode is cut-back from the center electrode to provide a gap, and its concave face ensures a constant gap to the center electrode. This design opens the spark face for better ignitability of the flame kernel and retains less heat, transferring it to the shell faster to reduce the risk of pre-ignition. Dyno testing has shown proven power gains, making it ideal for all aftermarket cylinder heads used in various racing venues, including oval and road racing. The cut-back ground electrode evolved from the practice of grinding back the side electrode, and it features a tapered seat type for optimal performance.

Product Features:
  • Opens spark face for better ignitability of flame kernel
  • Retains less heat, transfers heat to shell faster – reduces risk of pre-ignition
  • Dyno testing has shown proven power gains
