I think with the Pulsar Dizzy Kev said you could run 0.9 plug gaps :?: can't remeber any mention of brands though

Bosch W6DCs, 0.9mm gap with Pulsar dizzy & coil.
At Wakefield Pk I run NGK BP7ES, don't use them on the road any more after a couple went belly up while cruising..

This motor's running 10.4:1 C/R, though- for stockies I'd run Bosch W7DC or NGK BP6ES or Champion N9YC. :wink:

Ihave always sworn by NGK plugs but now i think they have gone CR*P, so i moved from a BP6ES to a W6DC as the Doc mentioned and i have not had a fouling problem since, i also have some champions to try out soon enough too, i have just purchased a two sets of new NGK race plugs made in Japan so the Quality is better than the normal NGK from Tiawan or where ever, B9EGV and B8EGV these are race plugs and maybe a litttle cold for my motor but i will give them ago and report.

well i have only driven the car a few times and not in much traffic etc, but so far the B8EGV race plugs seem to be up to the job.

once the clutch is sorted i will have a better drive and advise results.

What the difference between N9YC's and RN9YC's except the cost?
And are the RN9YC's any good?

RN9YCs are a resistor plug, made for late model cars with electronic ignition. If you have stock ignition and suppression leads, don't use them as it will reduce spark intensity.
OK to use if you have real wire leads and no suppression caps on `em. :wink:

If I'm running a Pulsar dizzy should I run these plugs or just go for the standard ones?

I would go for standard ones. For a stock motor,
Champion N9YC,
Bosch W7DC,
NGK BP6ES.

Gap 'em all at .035"- I found a slight misfire when cold at .040".

Make sure your plug leads are good. I like the Bosch ones better than Top Guns- $5 each at Supercheap. :wink:
