I knew that was coming Bill and I am on your side. However, you must admit
that it is pretty ironic that the "iconic" American Jeep is now owned by
Krauts and running on Japanese spark plugs. Fat Man and Little Boy took care
of the militant part and now they are just better engineers than we are
because we only allowed them to become that post-war. The Big Three:

German Engineering, Japanese Manufacturing, and American Marketing

Of course, they were made with American materials, and they worked well.
Didn't i see a VW buggy in you list of vehicles? I don't think that makes
you a ****.

I have had the same Accel 'crimp your own" solid core set in my jeepster
since 89 or so, it consistantly passes a scope test.
I have run across 3 instances of defective new Champions in the last 2 years
( "I just tuned it and it runs bad"), I stay with NGK, Nippondenso, Bosch,
and Autolite, in that order if the first isn't available.
Interestingly, AC stands for Albert Champion, same guy started a new company
after he sold the first one. That was the only connection.
