Back in the day when I was paid to work on Roadsters, we would get them
in to the shop running very badly. The owners (like us) would do the
basic tune-up to end up with a Roadster that would not idle and have
miss. We would have them give us 5 minutes to "check it out", then call
them back into the shop to a nicely running car. They would be stumped
- how did we work the magic?? We just changed plugs to NGK BP6ES. We
just charged them for the plugs and had happy campers. A lot of people
would go to the parts house and buy all kinds of plugs that just would
not work in a Roadster.
Plugs - one of the simple things about a Roadster.

Linda,
To be blunt, I haven't tried any other plugs. "If it ain't broke...", I
ain't spending time trying to fix it.
Put another way, there are enough other problems elsewhere than the
Roadster to fully occupy my time.

P.S. I cannot more highly recommend the Gary Boone EI distributor (and
a hotter coil to go with) and a gear reduction starter is a big plus,
too.
