Seen a few of these promo films at seminars and auto shop classes. Helps the common consumer understand how your automobile runs. All sparkplugs are usually engineered for the heat range your car normally operates, and sometimes it's best to use the OEM⚡ plug for your car.
Reminds me of the Monty Python skit where ...... "The white car represents new Crelm toothpaste, with miracle ingredient "Fraudulin" and the not white car represents a regular toothpaste"........!
While listening to the music at the beginning I was starting to wonder if this was supposed to be a horror film. Little things. LiTtLe ThInGs. litTLE thiNGS. LitTle tHiNgS.
what is interesting is the fact that general motor spark plugs ( A C ) are albert champion spark plugs, he worked for william durant starting out and had a big falling out and started his own company.
@@gregoryclemen1870The fallout was because after Champion sold his spark plug patent to Durant he just kept on manufacturing Campion Spark plugs. And, they are still being made today.
Correction. There never was a disagreement between Champion & Durant. In 1905 Champion started producing Champion plugs with 2 partners, the Stranahan brothers. In 1908 Durant approached Champion about producing plugs for his cars. The partners disagreed & moved to Toledo where they continued manufacturing Champions. Meanwhile champion produced plugs for GM. The Stranahans did not want Champion using his own name so Champion had to settle with using his acronym, AC, which it has been ever since. After his death in 1927 AC was sold to GM. No, I don't thInk Durant was too pleased with the Stranahan brothers though.
@@Toolaholic7 Riverside International Raceway was located at the intersection of California 60 and Day Street, the track is now the Moreno Valley Mall, shopping centers and homes One other thing, towards the end of the backstretch of Riverside was a bridge sponsored by Champion, up until 1989 it became the Bosh bridge
The only plugs Champion made for other brands that I know of as I was told by a Champion engineer that the NipponDenso now Denso branded plugs that state Assembled in US from Japanese parts were assembled by Champion at their only US plant in Burlington, Iowa
It seems most of the cars they used were GMs. I wonder if AC Delco was the "Brand X"? Also I could tell she was a "pretty, ugly girl" the moment she walked in. Obviously those glasses were going to come off and the hair would come down.
Back in that era GM sold half or more of all cars sold in the US so they would be the target as AC Spark Plug division in Flint, Michigan would have been a big competitor for Champion Champion was OE for Chrysler and AMC as well as many industrial engine companies
A more positive spark (better), what he described is a hotter plug. Not necessarily further in the combustion chamber as shown, but more exposure. Further back up the plug, better for oil burning. Carburetors are efficient mixers of air and fuel but the distance from the carburetors should be the same for all cylinders. Injection was used way before carburation, just cheaper.
@@jerrynewberry2823 right, but if a plug fires when timed to do so, I don't see how spark plug can have any effect on fuel economy. It fires when the coil says to fire.
@@joshuagibson2520 increased efficiency of fire creates a better burn of the fuel. As with all combustion, some fuel is left unburned. The hotter the spark, the more burned fuel during the ignition phase. It would kind of be like changing octane. Higher Octane, the slower, therfore cooler the combustion of the gas. Or how bout, if I lit a cigarette (or joint) with a cutting torch instead of a bic lighter. Cutting torch would light it alot faster. Right now, that's the best way I can explain why it would be more efficient. I apologize for my explanation, but I'm having a severe hesdache.
@@joshuagibson2520 The turbo action he spoke of was a projected nose spark plug which was still fairly new what I understand developed with input from Smokey Yunick. It moved the gap further in to combustion chamber it acted like advancing timing with out detonation problems. I had a longer insulator that kept it cleaner by being hotter burning any build up off but also in the path of intake charge that also cooled insulator to away pre-ignition ping. These were also the days of mostly point type ignition so any small change could help with ignition performance which when everybody switched to electronic which put out more voltage it was not nearly as critical.
