Yes!  I've tried them in an '85... It literally didn't run beyond a 
very rough idle.  It wouldn't pick up RPM beyond about 1800.  After 
the various "Huh,  What the H#%l, Now whats.." I realized they were 
resistor plugs, as the WR7CP is, running with resistor wires.  BUT 
the Platinums do work nicely in 850 Nortons!
