expensive gimmick

ChevLoRay · 01-20-2008, 10:05 AM

Looks like they're using an induction circuit to increase the "signal" that creates the spark. It's an interesting idea but I am not sure of the durability of the device. They may call it a pulsing unit, but it still takes the voltage from the coil, or coil-pack, and causes a spark to ignite the fuel/air charge in the cylinder.

I guess it will be up to someone on Speed Channel or DIY

to sort it out for us. I think a good old heads-up comparison is in order, but I don't have anything worthy or any means to do a scientific comparison.

If there's a way to convince some gearhead that there's a better way to spend money on an engine, there's gonna be someone out there finding a way to get their dollars.

Tell you what go ahead and hit 88mph then come back and tell us all how it turned out.

This could be usefull for other types of fuels like E85 especialy in startup since it burns slower but $25 each! yikes

This setup has been around for years-I have old Automotive digest magazines from the early 1900s and these similiar items were available back then---as was the Turbo venturi for your model T.

*Ozona* · 01-21-2008, 12:24 AM

Looks like Nology plugs. I think Nology went under? Haven't seen much from them in awhile at least in advertising.

I've never found a plug that was a better bang for the buck than a cheap ol' Champion or Autolite plug...or the simple platinum type if so they last forever if taking them out is a PITA.

$25 a plug. LOL!!!!

70GMCer · 01-21-2008, 12:37 AM

I better get more than a spark plug for $25 ea.
