Lastrights,
Plugs only get worn more quickly if you have a MSD box. 3 sparks per revolution means your cap/rotor/plugs/wires wear out 3x as fast.
People wonder why I do a full tuneup every year.
It could be the plug gap. I gapped them at .041. As the electrode gets worn, it will shorten, thus increasing the gap.
Maybe that can lead to pinging.
Autolites are cheap enough. However, i think that the accel u-grooves (currently on now) are the same heat range. They are shorter than the stock champions.
