Title: 1969 Z28 spark plugs
Post by: wisemanz28 on March 15, 2024, 07:27:17 PM
Need opinions on my spark plugs , rich,lean, or just right? It was running rich and I just put 5 gallons of Cam2 in it and seems to be running great. The plugs were fouled before the Cam2. Previous to Cam2 I ran 93 octane gas.

A light gray/brown electrode is usual for a spark plug that is functioning properly on older high performance engines and your 1969 Z28 plug looks good to me.

Yes... this one looks good. And the best part is it's nice and dry. If the other 7 look like thus one, you're good!! And if that's the case, just check the gap and reinstall.

I Just wrote a Check to a talented Painter & Screen artist.
LoL

I shudder to put abrasive in it and actually use it. LoL

^^ Wiseman's Z28 Plugs look pretty good to me esp when compared to Champions troubleshooting plug reading guide.

I haven,t seen one of those spark plug cleaners since my high school auto mechanics shop class in the 70,s. It worked really well. My 68 GTO would misfire pretty bad above 3k RPM, a trip through the cleaner for the plugs would clear it up nicely.

Are these sand blasters like the Champion unit? Yours looks great.
