In hindsight the thread title was a bit harsh.



I usually do not examine things as closely as I did during this spark plug change. But, after reading all this forum stuff it starts making you even more anal about everything. The strange thing is, 5 of the six wires showed the white streaks from arcing. There was no real correlation between the evidence of arcing and the wear on the plug electrodes. I never would have looked for arcing, but I think it was you (Joel) who suggested looking for it. As far as the rattle, It was Frank that was complaining about it with his Magnecore wires that made me look for it. I was not even convinced it was a real problem until I tried the new Auto Star wires and found that they fit nice and snug with no rattle.

I am still wondering, is that white powder actually evidence of arcing? Joel, do you see arcing like this very often.
