The Nickel 7980 spark plug features nickel-yttrium alloy tips on both center and ground electrodes, enhancing wear resistance and maintaining consistent spark quality over time. This line is suitable for standard ignition systems requiring a 6000 ohm resistor to reduce radio frequency interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bosch 7980 spark plug is designed for use in 4-cycle engines and features a single ground electrode with a tapered v-profile tip to optimize spark exposure and combustion efficiency. The 1.5 mm pre-gap size is factory set to ensure proper ignition timing without additional adjustment. With a 14 mm thread diameter and 17.5 mm reach, this spark plug fits a variety of GM and Ford vehicles, including Buick LeSabre, Cadillac DeVille, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford C1500, and Pontiac Firebird, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores consistent engine starting and smooth idling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces misfires caused by worn or damaged spark plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves fuel efficiency by ensuring complete combustion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes radio frequency interference with built-in resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents electrode wear for longer service intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the spark plug gap is verified before installation, although the Bosch 7980 comes pre-gapped at 1.5 mm. Use a 16 mm socket wrench for proper tightening to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. The tapered seat type requires careful seating to avoid cross-threading. Always replace spark plugs in sets to maintain balanced engine performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBosch manufactures the 7980 spark plug to meet strict quality standards, using high-grade ceramic insulators and nickel-yttrium alloy electrodes for durability and reliable ignition.
