Federal-Mogul Corporation’s Champion spark plug brand has introduced an innovative one-piece premium replacement spark plug that will help automotive technicians and do-it-yourselfers eliminate a common tune-up challenge affecting more than four million passenger vehicles.
The new Champion Double Platinum Power spark plug (p/n 7989) utilizes a one-piece design that replaces the two-piece “high-thread” original equipment plug utilized in millions of Ford 4.6L, 5.4L and 6.8L engines. When servicing these engines, technicians are challenged, as the OE plug can separate during removal, potentially leaving the base trapped within the engine block. The new one-piece design solves this problem.
In addition, to the problem-solving one-piece design, the new Champion Double Platinum Power plug features an extended ceramic post that virtually eliminates flashover, and an advanced J-gap configuration that is easier to set and which helps ensure more efficient firing performance. Like all premium Champion plugs, the new Double Platinum Power spark plug also features the brand’s exclusive Heat-Active alloy, which enables the plug to more quickly reach and maintain the optimum temperature range.
“Champion spark plugs have helped millions of automotive professionals and everyday drivers achieve superior engine performance through the best possible tune-up. Now we’re providing a new generation of innovative, performance-driven solutions for today’s most advanced engines and ignition systems,” said Michael Proud, Federal-Mogul global product director, Service Solutions.
