I've just fitted a set of B7ES to my Sud Sprint. I've always used the GL plugs as I didn't know any better, the set that was in the car where bought new back around 2000 and have only covered 500 miles or so. I always thought the slight hesitation from pick up and occasional running on 3 was normal or just crap fuel after all I recall my Ti and Green Cloverleaf doing something similar........err maybe not!

Pick up seems much better and it feels more eager from 4K rpm, time will tell I suppose but so far so good!

Good news Neg,


another convert, and trust me you won't look back

there are lodge plugs in my sud at the moment, but will be getting changed for NGK as i too have had no issues with them..

on VJM and other suds/sprints that i've taken to my local carb guy for set-up he usually insists that the plug gap be widened by .1mm to give a bigger spark. the quoted figure of .6mm was too narrow in his opinion. they always ran superbly after he'd tuned them so i can't argue

The set I've just put in came gapped under .8mm, all where approx .75mm seems OK so far...
