250 problems
I have a straight 6 with the petronix coil and ignitor pointless system in it. I love the system but it seems like I go thru spark plugs faster now. I drive this truck normally just on weekends and these plugs don't even last 2k miles. It's not running rich or smoking or anything like that. Any suggestions? Different plugs?

Which plugs are you running? did you open up the gap ? most HEI type systems need a gap of .45 to run properly

Dubie
No I didn't think of that. I'm running AC plugs. Should I go then with .045? |

You are running the right kind of plug. I would re gap them and see if that works. I know I had to re gap my plugs when I went from points to HEI
