Thanks again to all for the many offers of point sets. I'm going to see how the car runs with the points I have first but, I'm a little confused on the spark plug recommendations. Clymer Manual and N

Thanks Mike. P is for projected tip. That explains why the electrode sticks out more. It sounds like either one will work. Do the aluminum and iron heads have a different combustion chamber design? M

The original plug for the '66 1600 was the B6ES. The "P" is for "Projected", meaning the electrode extends further as you noted. If I have my facts right, the extended elctrode plugs were used on al
Many years ago, I needed a set of plugs, and my local parts house didn't carry NGKs, so I settled for a set of Champions. Now, I have used Cahnpionn plugs in many other cars, but they didn't do real
NAPA had both the NGK BP6ES and B6ES. I think I'll give the B6ES plugs a try. Dan McHatton '66 1600 -- Sometimes the B6ES is a little hard to find. keith _____________________________________________

FWIW, Nissan has, or had, a major stake in NGK. Most Aussie roadsters have been using BP6ES for as long as I can remember without any problems. Some would run BP5ES or BP7ES if needed. I also experim
Not to offend anyone but I try to only run Champions in my lawn equipment. I prefer Autolite or NGK (Bosch is the only plug my BMW liked). Currently I am running the NGK B6ES in the Roadster (1966 16
The projected tip plug puts the spark closer to the center of the combustion chamber, which actually is better to burn as much fuel as possible (for both power and milage). This also has the effect
