No one else carries NGK here in Saskatoon.

I'll have to check with them. The guy at the counter likes to snort with derision when I ask about parts for my RX-7, making me less inclined to buy from them even if it's cheaper.

After swapping the Autolites that were in my car when I bought it for a set of NGK's, I can see why.
The autolites had a single side electrode, whereas the NGK's have 4. Much better performance after the plug swap, even though I just changed them because I had no idea how long they had been in it. Ran fine, but I felt it was wise to put in a fresh set of NGK's, since that was what everyone reccomended.
Thanks, lesson learned
Rotary engine = NGK plugs for me from now on

Also, Autolites are supposedly longer, and can chip the apexes.

Autolite—something to avoid.

Man, no one here sells FB plugs for $5 each. I just bought a set of NGK's here for $10 each. Ouch.

For some reason, I can get FC plugs at $5 each though.
