working on another ds and the guy said it had poor power. it started and ran but was low on power. so i was messing with it tonight and did a few checks and found one plug had no gap! and didnt find any thing else. anyone run into this? did it do the same thing? i havnt tried it yet, still torn down.

 

never heard of it... maybe it was just a bad plug, not installed right or bad valves?

 

i guess what im trying to say is will it run ok with just one plug?

 

what compression is the motor your working on? When I was running the 12.5:1 I actually had the piston hit the spark plugs and close the gaps. I was running non oem plugs that where slightly longer than stock but the clearance issue forced me back to DR8EA's. Just a thought.

 

I have run ok with 1 plug

 

12.5-1 with dr8eix's. i should pull the other plug and look at that one also.

 

Yeah, it will work with one, as long as it is good. pull the other and see what it looks like.

 

When running alky, I had a bad plug, and I was racing all day, and new my DS was not running up to par, but I thought I had some bad ALKY, but that night at the Hotel, I pulled the plugs and one plug didnt have an electrode! LOL, I changed , and the next day I was putting 3-4 lenghts on the same guys I raced the day before.

They didnt believe me when I told them all I did was change plugs, LMAO!!

I'm sure running as much ALKY as I used to through twin 39 mills the ploblem was compounded, but IT does make a Performance difference to have both plugs working properly.



Bigger.

 

I agree, both plugs make a difference under a load!!!!!

 

He he he thats why they got 2 huh!!!!!!! Lmao!!!!just haven fun guys
