hardyferret Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I know Clive will lynch me.......... :shake: But has anyone been down the road of getting rid of the sheilded plugs and using 'normal plugs' if so what sort and heat range or number?? regards Hardyferret :-D :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've just fitted RSN12Y's in my Ferret & it runs a lot better now.. still a Mil spec plug though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardyferret Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks for reply, I'm hoping to get a civvi plug ie NGK etc to mak e thing a bit easier and have option on heat range choice regards HF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 The RSN12Y is basically the same as the civi Land Rover plugs and they cost 98p. If you can be bothered to change the leads over this seems like the best bet. I bought a set to put in the Sabre but the engine had new ones in it when I got it so never bothered. A job for the future though! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Hardyferret/pig, I have used normal unshielded plugs in a "B range" engine belonging to a customer, cannot remember what it was at present, but I used the same plug as specified for the fire engine applications, which I think, is Champion N8, but will have to check that out first. The spark should be better as the screened sheilding produces an effect that weakens the spark, Clive will remember the term for it. I have done this on other screened vehicles and the result is so much better, especially if using plugs like Champion Gold Palladium or NGK Copper Core, because they have a wider heat range and do not foul so readily.

hardyferret Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yippee :-D So there is an equivalent, this gets better, along with jolley elec ign and a carb overhaul we should really purr :-o :-o Hardyferret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I know Clive will lynch me.......... :shake: Well now that is an idea. I think your first move is to fit the joley & remove the choke cable & review the situation. If your plugs don't stay nice & clean like those ones I blasted for you, then mess around with civy leads etc - if you must :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hardyferret, I think Clive is a little worried that your projected modifications could make your Pig faster than his :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardyferret Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Has anyone seen plans for a manifold to enable the fitment of weber 45 dcoe's to a B60? :whistle: reckon that would put lead in a B60's pencil :evil: HF :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be any faster by the time he has bolted on so many accesories & nick nacks it will be weighed down. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
