    Spark Plugs Missing Dots on Side Electrode

    Quick question. I just bought 6 sets of Champion QL77PP spark plugs for my 300X OB's. Most of them are missing the little dot on the side electrode like in this pic. Are they still OK to use?

    No, they're all over the place, just like all the other ones I've ever bought.

    The old plugs that came out had the dots, but I found some other old sets I saved from last year that didn't have the dots as well. I installed these new plugs set to .025" and it ran fine on the hose. I'll see how it runs this weekend.
