auto plugs for Lightspeed Plasma II
I have a Lightspeed Plasma II on my O-320. The auto plugs that have been recommended and that I have used in the past are:
Denso W27ESR-U
Denso W24EMR-C
Unfortunately, these are no longer carried at two local auto parts stores in town. Can anybody recommend alternative common auto plugs that would be suitable for my setup?
Thanks!
Phil

Plugs
I just today called and got 4 plug NGK BR8ES delivered to my shop in windsor for $14 tax and delivery in.
Find an AC auto parts centre. they are part # 5422 and cost me $3.2 each
I believe spruce was cheaper but this was quick and done.

BR8ES SOLID
I am using NGK BR8ES SOLID with dual P-mags. Note that the "SOLID" plugs do not have screw on caps.
At Rockauto, part #5422 is for the regular, screw cap design.
Part #3961 is the solid cap and they are $1.59 ea.

Screw Tops
Screw tops work just fine if you jimmy(technical term) the threads on the screw tops just a bit and screw the top on goodentite. Has worked well for me for almost 1400 hrs.
The solids are best, but not always easy to find.
As always - YMMV
