[V8] spark plug pulsing????

[Ron Wainwright]

They are Autolight 103's. BUT DON'T SOUND THE ALARM
INGO...I have used Autolight 103's for over 2 years
now W/O a problem.
 What I think is I got a bad box. They come in a box
of four. Mind you four of them are fine...I'm just
going to bring all eight of them back for my own piece
of mind. I will get another set of eight..& will put
those back in my car!
 
 I think though that even if it were POS Bosch plugs &
this happened I would inspect them just as I would the
Autolights.

 Ron Autolights for life :-)
