What is the importance of spark plugs, their maintenance, and how do they indicate engine health on Chevrolet El Camino?

Effective spark plugs must strike the engine efficiency and they should always be replaced with similar specified heat range and type through its series of numbers and letters stamped on the plug body. The gap between the spark plug is known to be very crucial, as if the gap is too wide or too narrow it would affect the size of the spark and efficiency as well. To fine tune the gap, one has to use a feeler gauge and; bend the outer electrode, ensure that the center one must not be bent because it may result in insulation complications. The condition of the spark plugs provides insight into the engine's health: A thin white deposit on the insulator nose commonly points to a leaner mixture, and wherein the plug is emanating heat, then it is an indication that the mixture is extremely lean. A black and oily plug may tell of engine-wear, together with a rich mixture in the air-fuel mixture while light tan to greyish brown deposits may indicate correct choice of the mixture and healthy state of the engine. If there is any residual long brown colouration present on the white portion of the plug, it implies that the joint is also defective and therefore requires substitution. It is crucial to always make sure that spark plugs are tightened to the normal torque and not over tightened.

Traditionally, different Chevrolet el camino models have used spark plugs such as copper core, platinum, double platinum and the popular iridium. A specific type from another is in durability and performance: platinum plugs have longer life expectancy than copper/nickel mainly because the former has a harder substance, double platinum types, on the other hand, are purposely made for Distributorless Ignition Systems (DIS) to minimize wear.
