I think they are awesome. Engine runs smoothly and starts quick and hasn't skipped a beat. Champion makes a great fine wire but I think Autolites are just as good and you can't beat them for the price. Just remember the old saying, "drop it once, drop it twice - the second time in the trash" - I dropped one of my lower plugs but didn't think it mattered cause it was only from the distance of the bottom of the engine to the floor which had a rubber pad but it did. After about 2 hours, I noticed my left mag dropped. It was an Autolite Massive plug. That's when I replaced all plugs with the Autolite fine wires and haven't been disappointed one bit. Just my 2 cents. I run a 320 carb. Matt Thomas O'Grady wrote: There has been a lot of discussion on fine wire plugs. My question is about brands. The Champion RHB32S is about $75, while the Unison Autolite URHB32S is about $30. Is there a good reason to spend 2-1/2 time as much on the Champion brand?
