slivers of light coming from spark plug?
Hello,
Quick question: what would cause my #3 and #7 spark plug (on the driver side) to have tiny slivers of light to be noticed when the in complete darkness. I just put in MSD 8.5 wires and ngk tr55s gapped at .050. The car runs a whole lot better, but seeing those particular 2 sparks plugs flashing a little light just bugs me. Am I just noticing the spark plug at work/firing.
thanks,
Tim

Re: slivers of light coming from spark plug?
Is it arcing somewhere?
I think (but am not sure) that there is an explanation for this. Something to do with humidity or some other outside factor. Do a search on it.
EDIT: Its called "corona glow." Im too lazy to do any more searching for ya. I think you can take it from here. Your welcome. lol
