What spark plugs to use.

Hello,
I have a 82 RX7. my setup is a MSD6a box direct fire with 2nd gen leading coils. Trailng is stock.
My question is what spark plugs should I run on the leading and what should I run for trailing. My primary use for this can is city driving and occationaly a few tares down the roard I really want to stick with NGK.

I ve read that the BUR7EQP are good for leading???

when i lived in SoCal (about 45 minutes away from LA) all the scrap yards around me had rx7's pretty much constantly. but yeah, FC plugs are good. Every time I go to any scrap yard with 7's i nab all the plugs. i have about 8 sets of fb / fc plugs.all of em' have been cleaned and tested to work

I only get NGK's or Denso's from scrap yards, though. autolites and other brands are cheap enough i wont bother to grab them there.

actually, you are correct. lots of S3 and S4s, old school and S1-S2 every now and then. Wish there are more old school RX like in the 90s
