Plugs

["Krumian, Gary" <GKrumian@domain.elided>]

Depending on what kind of spark plug you're using, you should be able to get
hoter or colder pretty easily.  I like using NGK and use the BPR7ES, which
is a pretty cold plug.  Standard on a Milano is in the BPR6ES' heat range.
If you think you need one hotter than this, get the BPR5ES.  Any auto store
should have it or be able to get it.

Also, what Alfa lists as an alternative to Lodge is Champion RC11 (sorry I
can't remember the full number).  Some people hate using Champions but I
think they're OK.  The 11 is pretty warm so you should be OK with that.
Just remember that most plug manufacturers use a numbering system that makes
the plug hotter as the numbers increase, but NGK is the opposite.

Check out the following site for a nice tutorial on these things.  Good
luck.
