NGK (1273) BCPR5E-11 is what I've been using for about 20 years now, never a problem. 5/8 hex for better header clearance, larger gap for electronic ignition.
NGK 5 heat range is equivalent to a 12 heat range in Champion.
I saw a pic about a week ago of a Champion plug where the centre electrode was pushed back inside the insulator......
I remember when "NGK" were for Japan cars, Bosch plugs were for Europe cars, Bosch plugs were for German cars and Champion were for Chrysler. Not sure of the Pulstar or Denso plugs.
Denso are Japanese. Pulstar are an aftermarket plug, made in the USA I believe. When I tried Pulstar plugs in my GTO, it idled noticeably smoother. After about 6m of use, one of the Pulstar plugs failed, went back to NGK Iridium.
I just got a set of these GR4's and they wont fit a Indy/RHS 360 X head. Only a 5/8th's will work. These are 13/16th's. I could not find them in a smaller size. Wah. Anyone know if they can be sourced in a smaller 5/8th's socket?
