I have the Bosch Platinums now, but will go to the NGKs for
consistency's sake. I have the owner's glovebox manual, so will use
all of the recommended values as a starting point. I got the Luca
sport coil because It came with the kit from Brit-Tek, but I've heard
that unless I open up the gap a bit, I'm really getting no benefit
from the hipo coil around town.
