NGK D8EA 1958 sprite 938 Aluminum head from Moss. Point less Distributor from Moss, Coil is 30K . The question is Any idea why the NGk have a short life? I get about 2 years on them less than 2k miles. They go from working to not working in 4 starts about 15 miles. Not black no oil and not white. Just a tan Gray color. last start was a 1 mile hop and they would not restart the engine. Had to rope tow the POS back. I think they did the same thing to me 2 years ago.
Was going up a hill and lost one cylinder due to no spark. The other 3 went off one after the other before the top of the hill. Had enough energy to get over the top. Still need a push home 1/2 mile. I tested for spark at all points from the coil through distributor through wires to plugs. everything tested bad. replaced coil, tested now good. Still no spark at plugs Replaced wires and rotor. Tested spark again. This time I had it all the way to the plug but would not jump the gap. replace plugs and it work fine till the other day.
Thanks
