[alfa] High energy sparks

["Ed & Marsha Prytherch" <mred2u@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I first owned my GTV, it had standard Marelli ignition and the Webers
had to be set up perfectly to avoid an off-idle flat spot. Switching to
Marelliplex ignition cured the problem, so I think that a high energy spark
makes the engine more tolerant of lean mixtures.

>If I install a high output coil, good leads, and NGK plugs on my car, I'd
usually increase the plug gap to get a stronger spark.  If, however, I'm
running Golden Lodge multiple electrode plugs, should I do anything?  Is
there as much of an advantage to the high output coil with the Lodge plugs,
or is some of the advantage lost?"<
