Spark plug selection

Post by TulsaSpider »

There seems to be many wide and various choices in the plug selection. My car is a 78 1800. Dual points, carb, seems to be all stock. The plugs that are in it seem to be in OK shape. I just want to make sure I get good plugs, temp range etc, for this setup. My plug wires should be coming in tomorrow.
Again thanks for the input!!

I use the NGK BP6ES but have also used the BP5ES. BP6ES is the correct heat range however.

I'm running the NGK BP6ES and BP5ES. The lower the number the hotter the plug.
