Tell him he sent you the wrong plugs. I don't know, I tried them in mine(13B) and without the fc ignition they seemed to foul out easy and caused hard starting. YMMV....

The plugs you have are 2nd gen plugs. They have seemed to work fine for me, but others say they don't.

I posted earlier that i bought my NGK BR8EQ-14 from pepboys
for $4.99 each. If you have one in your town it's a better place
to get them from.

You should of gotten exactly what was advertised and what you ordered
from that guy, so let him know. Maybe he will send you the right ones
and let you keep those

That's what some guys have done when they sent me the wrong parts.
That was a very decent thing they did, and it left me a good impression
of them.


Good Luck my friend!

You should match your plugs to the type of ignition that you are running. Those plugs are for directfire ignitions like the 2nd gen ignition. Unless you're running DLIDFIS, you *shouuld* be running BR8EQ-14s or BR9EQ-14s.

They'll work, but not as well as the proper plugs.

Be sure to always inform the seller of his / her error and tell them how you expect them to resolve their error to your satisfaction. If that doesn't do it, THEN negative feedback.

It's always a good idea to let the other members of the forum know when a seller
says one thing and ships another part. the seller should make good on the part(s) listed other wise it could get out of hand. IMO
