the 8 or 9 is the heat range, 9 is colder, so its fine.

There's virtually no difference between the plugs - you won't notice the heat range difference really.
Someone once explained to me that, in a broad sense, you use the BR8s if you do more city driving, BR9s if you do more highway driving. Both will work without issues.
And truthfully, anything is better than the Autolite ones.

If you're older than the guy at the counter...
The BR8EQ14 is what my manual recommends, too.

on a stock car this is correct, but if you put together some combination that needs tuning the autolites are great. for example i went thru 3 set of autolites tuning the P port, @2.99 a plug this was no problem at all, its about the same price as 1 Rx8 spark plug.
