Thanks Cab. Does one last longer than another or something? If they make no power differance, why do they make them both ways? Are the non resistor plug faster to fire? Scratching my head here now...lol
The resitor plugs and later the wires where design to reduce AM radio noise before FM radio where put into cars As far as firung faster or lasting longer electricity travels at the same speed as light and radio waves, 186,000 miles per second so the plugs probally fire in the same time, + or - one or two nanaoseconds, not enough to worry about As far as longevity I don't know, I usually change the plugs long before ther worn out The good ignitions of today, stock and race ones, and unleaded gasoline will make a spark plug last 50,000 to 120,000 miles before it is missing or causing problems I haev used both in my cars with no noticeable differences Any restance in the primary ignition circiut will make the coil make more voltage before it will fire the coil to the plugs, which is not a bad thing, especially if you have a carb that is rich at idle or on start ups
