Spark Plugs for 89

TheKid! spoke thusly:

>>>-Diode- You are the electronics' guru in this group am I right or not?

Whoops, almost missed this, sorry. I've been in the electronics
industry for a long time but I don't consider myself a "guru". That
being said, more than just the distance determines where a spark will
jump to. A spark will jump a longer gap if the conditions are "better"
than the ones to the shorter gap. It also depends on the duration of
the spark. I suppose IF the duration is long enough, the spark can jump
to multiple points. The same could hold true for the MSD systems. Why
don't one of you guys with a lot of time on your hands run some
experiments with one electrode and multi-electrode plugs and see what
happens? Connect a coil to the plug and feed the coil a chopped DC
signal (not an AC signal). It's not the same conditions, granted, but
it should tell you something. When you're done, you can use the test
jig to make a nifty "Jacobs Ladder" like from the old horror movies. )

Shut up, Dave.
