[s-cars] Spark Plugs - anti-seize compound

[Kirby Smith]

Well, I'll take exception to "any."  My Corvair manual specifically
warns against anti-seize on the spark plugs on the grounds it would
change the effective heat range.  Now, when that manual was written, the
only such material was Permatex Aviation Antiseize, a rather thick
material; NeverSeize was not yet available.  Thus, I would not try to
extend that advice to our cars.
