LODGE. 741. 1 set on 1-R-1. Voltages measured every 1000 miles. Tests to determine whether oxidation of points, or insulator leakage causes misfiring after a fair mileage. B14 Wear .003 after 1000 miles in 2-B-50. Firing voltages under pressure in Lab. rig, shows a decrease of approx 2 K.V. after 110 miles on 1-R-1. Not sufficient running for a definite verdict on these plugs. 640+641 Not tried on B60 or B80 or Ripple | ||
