 We *really* don't like Champions.  Particularly with electronic.  Maybe
 someone else does.  We find them to be poor performers and short lived.  We
 find Nippondenso (ND) U grooves best (in conventional plugs)  NGK and Bosch
 close 2nds.  Bosch platnums work fine too but cost more. Remember to put
