I don't think this is too far beyond belief.  I think the current
recommendation for spark plugs in turbo Buicks is the AC-Delcos that they
came with (plus or minus a few heat ranges).  Those motors don't "like" the
platinum plugs.

Anybody out there have any suggestions as to why some turbo motors don't like
platinum plugs?
