Well I have been saving these really amazing ones that I have for when I get my motor built up. They are an NGK and are supposed to be the beast you can get they are kind of old though I bought them of an old school guy at his speed shop. When I get home from school today I will get you the part number allthough you may have a hard time finding them and might have to check eBay. Right now I don't really have a very special motor and I am not racing currently so I am just running ACDelco plugs gapped at 0.035.

Hey man

Try these they are a really good performance plug.

Resistor Type V-Power North American #4762.

They come in packs of 4 so you will need to buy 2 boxes.

It is an older set of plugs so you may need to do a cross reference but I am not sure.

Good Luck!

They came out of the factory with AC Delco R43TS, and mine have been replaced with the same; I've had no problems.

Mind you, my engine is bone stock anyway.

Theres really nothing special about NGK, thats all I've run on my race bikes for 5 years now. They are the delco of japan and typically specialize in small bore motors like the 50-250CC 2ST or the 250/450F 4stroke mx motors. For the demand of a stock ignition system, the delco or autolites are just fine. Beware of using special plugs if you're going to run an MSD setup

The NGK and Bosch platnium 4's are expensive plugs that have great spark capabilities for imports. As a novice I used the NGK plugs and my 350 totally took a dump on me as far as power is concerned. I was yelled at from many peps. Professional race car motor builders. I put back in a new set of ACDelco's and never had a problem and lost anymore power. I always use Delco plugs on my vettes and camaros. I have a simple method of tune up that never goes wrong and holds up with other performers. Delco plugs on msd wires and distributor. 4 quarts of good ole Havoline 10-30 oil backed by 1 quart of rislone engine treatment. and a K & N reusable oil filter. You can't go wrong. I have built many 350's and the first elements after installation I use is the above formula. I have had motors last 200,000 miles. It's my own experiment I've come up with. When I was a novice mechanic I was all about the most expensive parts, the super plugs the royal purple synthetic oil. All crap! I had a fresh crate 350 from the general I installed a few years back in a berlinetta and I used royal purple and all that crap. 50,000 miles later I was pulling the motor out and rebuilding it. I don't abuse my cars. I treat them respectfully. I only drag a few. But, of coarse this only me talking for me. You can do what ever you wish. Just remember. If you think your girlfriend or wife is high maintance. Buy a vette or a camaro with a few miles on it. Or even modify it. You have no idea what tempermental is until then! LOL!
