If you do a serch in the archives you'll see a lot of people having
problems specifically with *Bosch* Platinum plugs, and with the
Platinum +4s. I didn't see anyone knocking platinum plugs outside a
4.7 in my quick search, so I guess I was recalling wrongly.
Why one brand of plug can run so poorly is something I'd really like to
know, though. (results I was seeing were from stock and upgraded
ignitions on premags and early magnums, posts were very early - '96 or
so)
