Magnetoman is presenting the idea that the quality of the spark means nothing A SPARK IS A SPARK, LOL---
Max, once again, you are wrong. I wrote nothing about the "quality" of the spark. My previous post only pointed out the faulty logic you used that resulted in you incorrectly believing the temperature of the electrode changed the timing. However, based on various things you've written about ignition in this and other threads, I'm afraid we wouldn't find much to agree on with those technical issues, either.
Persistence can be an admirable trait in certain circumstances, and you certainly have been persistent in this thread. However, it is not admirable when you have dug yourself into a hole but persist in digging ever deeper. It's not just that many of your
ad hoc arguments for particular details have been wrong, or that you blithely go forward without addressing errors when they are pointed out, often your arguments are not even self-consistent. It's as if you cut/paste sections of various technical writings that don't even necessarily apply, without noticing what you put in one post is contradicted by what was in a previous post.
Maybe these are OK techniques when trying to "win" an argument, but they are a waste of time and energy when trying to arrive at a correct understanding of something, such as whether or not indexing plugs affects h.p. Understanding something requires more than stringing a bunch of technical terms together. Mother Nature rewards understanding, she doesn't reward stringing words together.
Ok guys take your pick as to who is right, I really don't care.
Finally, something we both agree on.
