Like Paulyy says, NKG is a good brand. Just go for the standard ones.. NGK BPR6ES. NGK copper points burn hotter, but need to be replaced more often and they are cheaper.

Cheers,
Larry

I run the BPR6ES as the two above. They appear to be giving a good clean burn (confirmed when the head came off) and I've only ever had to make very minor changes when checking/changing the gaps.

These are good sparkplugs. I've got #7 on mine because turbo and more power..

Don't be sucked into these over expensive plugs, they're all the same.

I have NGK BPR6ES plugs in my '83. It's mainly a track car and these plugs have never given any trouble.
