FE Technical Forum / Re: Arcing around base of spark plugs.
« on: October 18, 2019, 09:55:55 AM »
You could have flashover which can happen if the insulating boots of your plug wire is to short and doesn't cover the insulator of the spark plug and then there is corona, in many cases corona is mistaken as spark plug flashover however corona is the glowing that appears above the plug shell around the base of the insulator. This condition is caused by the electrical stress in the air adjacent to the insulator-corona is in no way detrimental to spark plug operation and will cause a brown or grey deposit on the insulator top just above the shell.

Coolent level went down the car has an X pipe and fogging heavy with antifreeze clear at the pipe ends. Is it possible to have a lean condition that could cause this I just switched over to LL100 AV fuel and I seem to have gotten all of the adjustments spot on but maybe not A/F ratio as I was in the process of testing a colder plug when this happened.

I just got my newly gaped sparkplugs installed and went for a ride after lots of white smoke and antifreeze dripping from the exhaust it appears to be a blown head gasket my question is does this have to come apart right away to avoid any rusting of the cylinder bores ?

While using an MSD box for ignition on a 10.5 comp fairly stout cam engine would .035 gap be a good starting point ?
