Honored to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Mr. Ridgely, and yes his writing style is different than mine because I am bordering on illiterate and he is a well respected author. I have read the 410 Superamerica book many times and several of his others pieces.

Thanks for let me know Zac, Its difficult to get an inmpression of some body 4000-5000 miles away.
For me it was quite clear DWR46 has not only a theoritical background the way he explains clearly our little problems.
This man made his hand also dirty in the past or present.

Re: Plugs
Michael,
Just a quick note: fine wire plugs will provide an advantage in combustion beyond the normal benefit of installing a fresh set of plugs. I think I posted an explanation in the Ferrarichat 308 thread linked to above. However, the lead in the fuel you use may present a problem when using these plugs. I have heard claims that lead is not a problem with iridium alloys but, I have no personal experience.
If you try the double fine point version http://www.ngk.com/sparkplug411.asp?kw= ... ode&mfid=1 , you can gap the plugs to 0.035", or more, without increasing the stress on rest of the ignition system.
