Product Features:

• E3’s Diamond Fire edge to edge ground electrode provides maximum performance with increased efficiency and a faster more complete burn
• Smoother Acceleration & Idle – The faster flame initiated by the The spark plug results in a more complete burn of the ingested fuel charge. More pressure is created against the piston more fuel is put to work
• Energy – Power output improved up to 6% on average in the typical operating ranges. Results will vary.
• Efficiency – The “diamond shaped” side wire electrode projects the combustion spark in a way that more quickly ignites the air/fuel mixture, thereby creating a significantly faster and larger flame kernel. The result is that more fuel is put to work durin
• E3’s patented Diamond Fire Technology provides a cleaner burning combustion, which translates into fuel savings and reduced engine carbon deposits
• The Spark Plugs are pre-gapped at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
• Wide Compatibility: E3.68 spark plugs are 14mm with a 1.000 reach and a gasket seat, fitting a wide variety of late model applications, especially Hemi engines.
