PURPOSE
The spark plug provides a path for the high voltage of the secondary circuit to flow to ground.

CONSTRUCTION
The spark plugs consist of an insulated center electrode and twin ground electrodes. The ground electrodes provide a large conductive area which maintains a constant air gap and a uniform flame front during the spark plug's service life.

NOTE: This type of spark plug requires no adjustment.
