OK in my 421B? Hot and very humid here....97T in it presently.

Thanks...
p3 plugs work ok in nova engines but i wouldnt recommend switching back to any other plug after you use the os plugs in there , everything looks the same (almost) but they are just a little different

Hi Houston. Understand the OS plugs is a little different from Nova. Physically I only see that the nova has a long tapper at the end as compared to OS. Any other difference that I should know as it is stuff to get odonnell plugs here and considering to use OS as I still have a handfull of them. Will it cause any damage to the engine from using OS plugs.

Greatly appreciate you advice. Thks

I've lined up my new P5XLT with a dynamite 053 pipe with Nova/mugen 029 header, would the 9901 pipe be a better choice?

they may look similar but they are not , the problem is apparent if you try to switch back to other plugs . once you use os plugs in nova head button , stick with them

Speaking of plugs....
Started break-in of my new pride and joy, it seems like the issued plug was rotten. Holds a great idle with the ignitor on, and dies immediately when i remove it.
Could I use GRP plugs? havent got any more OD's - BUMMER!
