[QUOTE="Mr. Boring, post: 100502, member: 4061"] A couple more spark enhancers: Nology and Directhits. I used both in automotive and motorcycle applications. The Nology was plug wire with a capacitor in the middle and ground strap, I coupled it with a MSD7A amplifer and a Pertronix triggering device for the distributor. I swear I could arc weld with this combo. If I pulled a plug and attached it to a wire I would get at least three separate sparks that would arc three inches when I started and ran the engine. This was probably about 15 years ago otherwise I would have done a video. I still use a Directhits (capacitor plug screw on) on the sparkplugs on a 289 Ford with 4 48IDA Webers. It idles smooth at 1000 and the rev limiter is set at 7800. The plugs don't foul anymore after installing even with in town driving and idling. I did use a Nology wires on a RGS with a Lucas magneto, Beru silverstone plugs and it did seem to run better too. Not trying tell anyone to buy anything but adding a few more items to see. [MEDIA=youtube]qZW-4lsua_U[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]asclydSmnPA[/MEDIA] Still there's nothing like a well jetted/needled engine as they really don't need all the extras to still run well! [/QUOTE]
