Found on another list:
Q; "Anyone have any experience with Split Fire plugs? Are they worth it or
just another waste of money?"
A: Since I have never tried them ,I'll only offer my 2 cent observation.
The spark plug works off of the pricipal of electricity seeking a ground.
The nature of electricity is to go to the closest ground. That being said,
I don't see where the makers of these plugs figure that the electrical
discharge
is going to "split" and simultaneously go to two grounds, even if they
are precisely the same distance apart. Electricity will alway follow
the path of least resistance.
I'd rather spend the money on a good tune-up.
"An excellent point. And it's so obvious when you think about it, I'm
almost embarrased I asked the question!"
