But what they don't say is that if you have a slightly rich mixture, the plugs will have a tendancy to foul within the first 100kms, wheras the cheap-ass BP5es will just keep firing for the next 10,000kms or so...BPR5E-IX
Iridium-tipped spark plug. Extremely long service life of 160,000kms and even better ignitability due to small diameter centre electrode.
Where is my condensor???

*lol* Slightly rich? I reckon that webber had your F5A running just a little bit more than slightly rich, mate!
I too have noticed that unless your carby is tuned just perfectly they tend to fück out. Better left to high performance EFi applications in my humble opinion.
Apparently they also have a tendency to "glaze over" unless you're running a fat coil pack/transformer, but that smells like a bit of BS to me.
I'm taking the V-Grooved path, anyway for the time being...
