Re: [VintageLambo] Re: which is the right NGK plug?

and dont forget the anti-sieze for the plugs?!? Mine currently has the Champion N7YC, but I am thinking I should go with something else.I guess Jerry felt compelled to use Champion as it was one of his sponsors. The color tune is mentioned in Pat Braden"s Weber book, and also a UNISYN, which covers the air horn for carb tuning.I would like to buy both of these items. Sources are listed in the book, I will look tonight.On a side note, I believe Pat Braden is recently deceased.

I think that"s the heat range, and that the 6 is cooler than the 7, but that"s just a guess.The BP6EV has been working in Bill Bloomer"s car for years, it should be fine for you, as should the 7. My experience with all this is that the different plugs won"t make any difference for what you"re trying to do, which is get the car running properly.The main thing is that they are new plugs, and as such can be used as a starting reference point.Down the road a bit, you can start dialing in exactly which plug is right for you, but for now....any of those will work great. There is a wide range of gaps being used on our cars, from .020" to .035".Again, a "ballpark" .030" should work fine, that"s what I use.(BTW, I use a Bosch Super Cu-Electrode, 7500, 0-241-235-602- 80U, W 7 DC, and it works magnificantly.) Make sure you do not overtighten (ie: pull the aluminum threads out -- ouch!!!).And you will find that using some lengths of rubber hose to unscrew/screw the plugs will make things go 20x faster.Just use the T-handle to crack the plug loose, and tighten, and use the rubber tubing (I guess ~1/2" dia.) for everything else. Cheers, Fred PS: There are various "color tuning" articles around, where you dial in the plug to the carbs.Anybody have one of those available?
