    73’ 318 dies under accel with new intake & carb

About a quarter throttle there is a...

    73’ 318 dies under accel with new intake & carb

    Spark Plugs for 73 Dart Custom

    Hey guys I'm looking into getting new spark plugs soon and have been wondering if I should try something different. It's a 318 and I've only ever used Denso Iridium plugs in it before, they also foul very quick. (Engine burns a good bit of oil) Is there a difference besides price in going down...
