Thank you, yes that plug is pretty funky. I thought the bar is strange but it is a lot better than the original in construction. Ive got the right plug ill replace it when I change the oil with zinc additive oil for lifter/ cam protection.

Yes not many people realize these engines were designed for the old oils that contain zinc. EPA changed the composition of oils with zinc removed. I lost my cam in my firebird in two minutes not knowing the change. All older engines including mopeds should have the zinc added oils.
