I had nothing but problems with my two sets of TR6s. Gapped and rechecked and re-gapped and etc...Had a misfire everytime. I was gapping them from .035-.040 with the same results. Finally bought some Autolite103 gapped them at .038 and success...No more problems. Could have been a wire but tryed them like 5-6 times...dono

Yup, same with me.

I was gonna install a wet TNT set-up years ago on my current 427ci so I bought some TR6's. For some reason TR6 plugs will not work in my engine. The engine spits, backfires, stalls and runs like hell. Simply cannot even drive away with the car, its that bad.

Pulled them out and put TR55's in and everything was perfect. Real strange. Same thing with Bosch 02 sensors with my engine, the engine will not run.

If you've seen one PCM, you've only seen one PCM....they are all NOT the same in how they operate.

I run TR6's gapped at .035. I also spray a 150 shot too but it runs strong even off the bottle, never had a problem with the TR6's.
