Default dropped plug and replacement question...

So I dropped a plug while cleaning tthem and I'm going with the recommended technique of dropping it twice (i.e. throwing it away) which equates to a $25 'oops'.

Question for the group, can I replace the one Unison plug with a Champion? Same numbers, but only replacing one and the rest will remain Unison.

TIA!

Default No problem

I ran 7 Unisons and one Champion for 600 hours with no problems. A spark is a spark.

I would consider that "the word". Wisdom is a beautiful thing to find. Gary, I'm showing up on your door step next time with a full O2 bottle to soak up all the wisdom you have to offer .

Default call A.E.R.O. now

Quickly run to the phone and call AERO for Unison plugs. That way it'll only be a $15.00 oops. Buy 9 of 'em. or 17. or 25.
It may be too late.
