Charlie,
Years ago, I installed a new set of Champions. The car ran very
poorly.
I put an ignition analyzer on the engine, and TWO of the eight plugs
turned out to be defective (non-conductive) right out of the box. Very
poor quality control, it appears.
Never installed Champions again. Al.

I'd like to change the plugs in my car, when I go to the parts store all I see are either generic brands or Champion, the champion numbers don't look at all like AF42. And looking in a parts reference books, I don't see anything even close to a 351C....
