can I get <strong>the</strong>m in NGK?<br />

Quote:<br />

Gnarls, how do I get a cooler plug?<br />

I stopped by a local Pep Boys while out running errands, and <strong>the</strong> guy told me "he doesn't know how to look that up"<br />

and asked around <strong>the</strong> shop. nobody knew.<br />

can I get <strong>the</strong>m in NGK?<br />

That doesn't overly surprise me. They all look up data/specs on computer and that's why <strong>the</strong>y often ask you all those totally<br />

irrelevent questions when you are buying a part. You might have to go to speed shop and talk to someone who knows <strong>the</strong>ir shit.<br />

Did you try a NAPA store? I'd call NGK or whatever brand you like. I've had <strong>the</strong> best burn and plug color on Bosch single<br />

electrode plats. I'd just find any cheap copper plug, buy it two heat ranges colder, put <strong>the</strong>m in and see if makes any difference.<br />

Then you'll know. I'd run <strong>the</strong>m for about 2 or 3 days <strong>the</strong>n pull <strong>the</strong>m and look to see how <strong>the</strong>y are burning. If <strong>the</strong>y look a little to<br />

carboned, <strong>the</strong>n I'd go up (hotter) one heat range. Then if you wanted to, you could go buy your favorte plug in <strong>the</strong> heat range that<br />

worked <strong>the</strong> best and try it. Let me know what you find out.<br />

Go to a real parts store for starters, get <strong>the</strong> idiot behind <strong>the</strong> counter to look in <strong>the</strong>ir cross reference books, should be able to<br />

identify <strong>the</strong> numbering system for heat ranges . I know Champions chart by heart, but can't make heads or tails of NGK or<br />

Denso's...<br />

Vic Edelbrock's Champion Cross Reference Pae<br />

Off-Road.com Reading Spark Plugs and explanation of hot and cold plugs<br />

Denso's version<br />

The denso plugs have a number to <strong>the</strong>m...as <strong>the</strong> number goes up <strong>the</strong>y get colder so 16 is <strong>the</strong>re hottest plug and 34 is <strong>the</strong><br />

coldest..."DENSO heat ranges move up as <strong>the</strong>y get colder; 16 would be our hottest Iridium Power plug, 34 would be our coldest<br />

(ranges; 16,20,22,24,27,31,34)"<br />

I think Champions are <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r way around but do a few searches to be sure...Or just look up a few denso and cross reference<br />

<strong>the</strong> part number with champions...A little work and you will find a pattern in <strong>the</strong> part numbers you look up. I used to have all this<br />

memorized when I drove a 70 Nova with a Semi-Built 283 out of a 57Chevy...It was pretty slapped toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>32</strong>7 heads and a<br />

different cam, a intake from a 350 and all kinds of crazy stuff.<br />

Anyways you get <strong>the</strong> idea from just reading those few articles...The numbers usually represent <strong>the</strong> heat range just figure out how<br />

<strong>the</strong> brand you want is numbered and your good to go.<br />

Re: <strong>Weber</strong> <strong>32</strong>/<strong>36DGV</strong> <strong>verses</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Weber</strong> <strong>38DGES</strong><br />

Well, how's everyone doing with <strong>the</strong>ir tuning??<br />

Been pretty busy, need to finish that 40mm Toy intake and get someone testing it soon . Just haven't had <strong>the</strong> time lately...<br />

77celica Re: <strong>Weber</strong> <strong>32</strong>/<strong>36DGV</strong> <strong>verses</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Weber</strong> <strong>38DGES</strong><br />

I haven't touch my celica in a couple months. I plan to swap in <strong>the</strong> 20r out of <strong>the</strong> parts car next week or so. Then I will replace <strong>the</strong><br />

carb with <strong>the</strong> <strong>38DGES</strong> and see how it goes from <strong>the</strong>re. I will probably bombard you guys with questions soon.<br />

(If you remember, <strong>the</strong> carb is off a 74? landcruiser)<br />

By <strong>the</strong> way, where is <strong>the</strong> best place to get an adapter and which one is best? I know you guys tend to prefer <strong>the</strong> one-piece<br />

adapter. Are <strong>the</strong>re any clearance or performance issues?<br />
