Bit of an open-ended question. I keep an eye on my plugs. (Through the =
cracks in the block!)  And, over the years, I=E2=80=99d say that NGKs =
last longer than Champions. That=E2=80=99s only an impression because a) =
I change plugs, like oil and filter,  sooner rather than later and b) I =
know that, now I=E2=80=99ve switched to NGK, I=E2=80=99m bound to think =
better of them now than I did of Champions before.

If you see what I =

=A6

I=E2=80=99ve never had plugs let me down as a certainty. I have had =
situations where I=E2=80=99ve seen big improvements from swapping plugs, =
leads, points etcetc. Sometimes, even a coil as well if it fell under =
any degree of suspicion. A sort of electrical spring-clean. But a purely =
plug-related issue? No.

Good Afternoon All
I=E2=80=99ve been using NGK spark plugs , BP6 ES. In my 67 BJ8 with =
electronic ignition. I just went to my local parts store and I was told =
they can=E2=80=99t get them anymore.
What else is everyone using with success?
Thank You , Don Day 67 BJ8
