Do you think it is necessary for two types of plugs to be specified - yes. for English use and one for Continental.
TAKE UP WITH KLG.
PHANTOM III. IGNITION PLUGS. CHASSIS 3.CM-87.
MILEAGE 5,700. NEW PLUGS? Hotter.
I am forwarding to you four KLG.FE.30.X. plugs with the centre electrode burnt. The above car has been on the Continent, and just returned. This is the first lot of plugs in service found with this feature.
No plugs in English service have so far shewn this trouble.
