A plug For people who change theirow~ We figure you power buffs have lots of interests and lots of equipment to go with them. So NGK builds a plug for practically every internal combustion engine made. Also, being mechanically hip, you appreciate quality and efficiency. So we build the most efficient, toughest plug we can. The kind you'd want to put in your own car, bike, outboard, buggy ... whatever. But all our plugs-and it takes the company computer to keep track of them - have one thing in common: a never-say-die "Heart of Copper". Used in place ot ordinary iron cores, this highly conductive copper core delivers maximum performance under all conditions. It dissipates heat fast, cuts down plug damaging hot spots and piston-popping pre-ignition. A long-nosed insulator holds just the right amount of heat to reduce tip fouling. In hot engines or cold, under easy or hard use, NGK's fire on time. every time. If you're a motorcycle owner, you probably know all about NGK performanc;e. You sports car types do, too. But NGK's work just as great in utility and recreational vehicles. And they'lI fire-up your hairy V-8 as quick as your one-I unger saw. Take our tip. Screw in a set of "Heart of Copper" NGK's. They're a change for the better. NGK, the long life, hi-performance plug. • _ PORTLAND, ORE., Nov. 12, 1972 335 riders treated 2 00 spectators to a fine day of racing on the beautiful new West Delta Park track.
