AND you shouldn't put American plugs in an Italian car , and no American plugs in a French car and no american plugs in a German car, BUT you can put Japanese plugs in any car and German plugs in any car As far as I know (someone correct me) there are no american off the shelf like a LODGE for Alfas, or Equiem (for MI16), or a Bosch for the 505 Turbo BUT Jap NGK have all styles except an exact copy of the LODGE.

Maybe Champion makes some specialty plugs but good luck finding them. George Nunez

Subject: [Peugeot-L] American plugs in a Japanese car

I am having a debate with a coworker. She insists that you shouldn't put American spark plugs in a Japanese car. She claims to have had many experiences that verify that absolute truth.

She has a Chevy Prizm. It started running very heavily this past Monday when we had a day filled with rain, sleet, snow, temperatures into the 20s, and she ran through a deep puddle and almost didn't get through.

Her mechanic changed distributor cap, rotor and spark plug wires. They found (surprise) water in the plug wells. But worst of all, they found that three of her four plugs were AMERICAN!!!!

I'm telling her this is sheer nonsense. I think it obviously resulted from the big puddle and freezing temperatures (she has no garage).

Has anyone heard this nonsense. She says you can't put American plugs in Japanese cars (Prizm is a Toyota, of course), but you can probably put Japanese plugs in an American car.
