What spark plugs

I have had my '86 sitting for some time, got it to turn over and run last week. Now, it won't start again. Plugs were soaked. So, before I put the same old plugs back in, are there any particular brands that are recommended? I currently use NGK's.
Thanks for any input!

NGKs are pretty much the standard.

Yup NGKs are it pretty much...Was it gas that soaked the plug? If so you got some leaky injectors common when your having a hard time getting the engine to start up.

its depends on your mods, but the 7's and the 9's are optimal for stock and even lightly modified, if your plugs are soaked you may not need new ones, just take a lighter and dry them off and take a soft brush and brush em off, see how they look, throw em in
