Champion RJ12YC or NGK R5670-6, both gapped at 0.35"-0.40"with a std ignition, should be easy to get :wink:

I used in both my engines,,NGK-FR-5 projected tip plug, both with gasoline and E-85 comp. ratios were 10.5 and 11.2 both had performance cams in the 240@.050 range. Excellent results with both!
