installing plugs so the open gap is facing the center of
combustion chamber will give best burn, a lgr. gap works only
w/ high output coils.
mark the body of the plug w/ a magic marker where the
ground lug comes from the threads. install plug and check if
gap lug is to outside (good) or to inside (not as good) of the
combustion chamber.
keep trying another plug until open part of gap is facing
the center of the cyl. combustion area.
this also helps to cool the electrode better w/ intake stroke.
w/ real Hemi's just face open part to intake valve.
this wont apply to center fire or retracted gap type plugs.
