I've been doing the same thing for several years now that I think of it without ever having realized that way back when plugs didn't come with those bushings. What really got me thinking was the fact that I had to install the bushing on each plug so maybe the bushings use is optional. I would imagine if this is so, the bushing is a way of making the plug "colder". Anyone really know what those bushings are for and when they should be used? -- You are Beautiful, Dick Rickert my manufactured love;- AT&T CPL but it is only Svengali, Indy, IN talking to himself again.
