Only use NGK's. They work the best. They last the longest. BR8EQ14.

Spark plugs
What auto parts store has the plugs in stock at a good price?
Are there any surface gap plugs available for the 12A?

I've heard that these work as well, but it's easiest to just say NGK's because they're relatively easy to find.
