Spark Plug indexing

<< < (3/6) > >>

George:
Checkout the Southwest Junior Fuel Forum.   http://www.angelfire.com/tx/fuelcarfan/jrfuelers/results.html

There is a thread on the purchase of the Goodyears. Last set I bought used from Scott Parks. Too bad someone else doesn't make a lightweight grow tire.

Good racing. George

Most of the other forum's like Bracket Talk and Yellow Bullet are not really geared for what we do . Racing a F.E.D. is much different than a R.E.D. After seeing what George is going on his 60ft's I am thinking about going back to those 12x31 Goodyear's if I can get a set.

Thank you Bill and everybody else here for sharing precious knowledge with FED rookies like me.

I will have to index the plugs on my deal because I'm shooting for a max compression piston dome. But I would index anyway. Why not? If you don't do it, the guy in the next lane will. All it costs is some time.

It will take tapered washers for my deal or a lot of spark plugs. How is the plug indexed in relation to the intake valve? Injection ? Fuel ? Compression ?

What's it worth on the dyno and/or track?

coupemerc:
I'm shooting for the spark plugs having the open side of the gap somewhere between facing down towards the piston top and the intake valve. It's on a Kinsler 2.875" stack injector, methanol and CR will be around 16:1 (maybe). I have no knowledge on what indexing is worth on the dyno or track.
