Default best glow plugs

I noticed in the 61 shoot out in MODEL A NEWS , they liked the o.s #8 plug along
with the thunderbolt plug.

which plugs are best for .40 and up engines?.


thanks

I use OS A3s for everything, they work real well.

I still have a pot full of K&B 1L plugs - work great in my two strokes. The four strokes get the OS "F" plug.

A3's for me, tower plugs, I believe are the same thing, at less cost. I tached with the a3 and switched it out for a tower plug, and saw no difference.

If a OS#8 plug dose'nt solve the problem it's not the plug.

I'm pretty much of a Fox plug user other than a few of H9 Super Plugs, I keep two OSfs around to try now and then, so far they haven't shown any improvement over the Fox Miracle or the Super Plug.

You can use the Miracle in a two stroke that needs a fairly hot plug for some reason, it is generally considered to be a fourstroke plug. The Super Plug is a Hangar9 fourstroke plug that comes in Saitos and MDS two strokes. In my opinion it is every bit as good as an OSf. It is part # HAN 3011 at Horizon. If you ask for a Super Plug at a hobby shop they may well try to sell you part#HAN 3010 which is a McCoy high performance plug and not in league with the Super Plug.
