That is interesting that you mention the 2 stroke applications. I remember
when I was having ignition problems (which turned out to be a bad ground to
my electronic points) I read up on a whole bunch of different plugs used by
Alpine people. One person wrote that he used Champion N7Y. The stock ones
are Champion N9Y. I found the N7Y's at Pep Boys and they were packaged for
motorcycles. I bought a set, but never used them since I found the
problem. I went back to the N9YC's and have been happy. (I think the guy
with the N7Y's was in the SAOC workshop manual in the article about racing
at the end).

FYI, the guy who rebuilt my engine put NGK BP6ES' on. I booted those with
the bad ground and now will go back to trying them some day. He recently
told me that he has done a bunch of testing and has found that a certain
Bosch plug was more consistent. I don't know which one though.
