Resistor spark plugs, or non-resistor spark plugs in a 3.4? That is the question.
Resistor spark plugs, or non-resistor spark plugs in a 3.4? That is the question.
So what should we be using in the 3.4? Resister spark plugs for a slower spark, or non-resistor sparkplugs for a hotter shorter spark?
I really want to use the NGK Iridiums in the 3.4 like it calls for in the 3.8, but this resistance / no resistance thing has really ****ed up my formula for figuring this all out.

yeah good Q..... i'm lookin for some good spark plugs for my 3.4 too any recomendations?
Re: Resistor spark plugs, or non-resistor spark plugs in a 3.4? That is the question.
I don't get it either. I'm not talking about the insulator length (which most people refer to when they talk "hot" or "cool"). I'm talking about high resistance or low resistance, which is supposed to vary the length of time of the spark.

there's two sets of NGK spark plugs i'm looking at...one says "stock" the other says "power adder" (runs one set cooler than stock) which one should i get?
Re: Resistor spark plugs, or non-resistor spark plugs in a 3.4? That is the question.
"power adder"- like with nitrous/turbo you want to you run a cooler plug. Straight from NGK's website is "In short, select one heat range colder for every 75-100 hp you add, or when you significantly raise compression"
Re: Resistor spark plugs, or non-resistor spark plugs in a 3.4? That is the question.
a resistor plug on a system designed for it makes a hotter spark. the resistance pushes the voltage up before it fires making a more dramatice spark that will jump a greater distance.

well i just went out and bought 6 NGK UR-5 spark plugs....are those gonna work ok?
Hey everyone! I've been trying to remove my transmission for two days now! I need to replace the clutch. Only thing I've got left holding the transmission...
Hello, so I changed the front bearings on the bird and the ABS inoperative light came on. I made a mistake of not removing negative battery cable. Now...
I usually have to double, triple my headlight switch for them to come up on my 97 Firebird. I cleaned all connections. Could it be the headlight switch...
