Default Best Plug?

Im sure this has been asked a 1000 times. Here is a 1001! What are the best plugs to run with Magnecor 8MM wirers? Im thinking either Champion Platinum or Bosch Platinum. Any thoughts or opions?

Funny thing.... The enginners at Land Rover thought the same thing... So, they tested their engine against numerous plugs, and found the Copper $.99 Champion plugs to work best. So they used them. Gotta go with that, being that they likely know more then we do.

Bosch plats....

Of course they don't sell that plug for their engines, only the $12 variety at the dealership.
Then to, the engine was built and ran on AC plugs for the first 20 years of use, and that too was well researched, so who is to say what plug really works best but the people who own and use all the different plugs that are currently on the market.

If you coudl produce more power, better fuel economy and less emissions from a wiz bang spark plug design, why wouldn't they do it from the factory? Doesnt make sense does it?

Just get what ever kind you want,

Unless you have done a lot to your engine, you wont notice anything anyways by running the super duper whiz bang neoplatinum-depletedurainium 56prong super gas mizer 50hp boosting plug.

Its your money..

That isnt compeltely true. You could screw a bolt in the hole. It would fit, but it wouldnt work. Use the Champions like look just like the ones that came in from the factory. At best, these wizbang plugs performance will be equal, at worst, you could damage the engine.

I have personally seen a Bosch plat come part, fall into the combustion chamber and dent the piston(Interferring with the Air/Fuel sqirl) and chipping the valve.


THe wheel has already been invented. No need to improve it.
