[AT] B Allis (spark plugs)

[Edward Tabor]

I have never had any luck with Champions, especially new ones.  Old 
plugs, pulled from old tractors, that are cleaned, regapped and reused, 
no problem.  New Champion plug, gapped properly, fouls out after a short 
while.  Could be workmanship?  Never had trouble with Autolites or A/C 
or Bosch (In fact prefer A/C or Bosch).  With spark plugs constantly 
increasing in expense, you'd think they all would be decent.
