Looking at a May 1997 Champion catalog, I see the following plugs that were 
available:

RN4YC - Stock # 904  (Autolite #51) 
RN6YC - Stock # 339 (Autolite #51) (AC - R41XLS)
RN7YC - Stock # 332 (Autolite # 52 or #62) (AC - R42XLS)

I didn't see any reference to an (R)8YC

Looking at a 1991 Autolite Catalog,  6 cylinder Triumphs were recommended to 
use an AP63  or AP64 Plug - the "AN" designation was an up market prefix, I 
believe (like platinum). A 63 or 64 would have been the regular market plug. 
There were also #51 or #52 plugs recommended

Looking at the 1991 AC catalog, there was the 42XLS or the R42XLS plug.

Also, from the 1991 AC catalog, '68 - '73 6 cyl. Triumphs used R42XLS plugs and 
'74 - '76 6 cyl. Triumphs used R44XLS plugs.

Did I confuse everybody?

Gosh - I just love the old printed catalogs! They have so much information that 
is easy to obtain and digest.

What is the symptom that you have noticed?

        Iâ??m looking for a spark plug that is just a little cooler than the 
stock Champion N9YC plugs that Iâ??m running. Iâ??ve had no luck finding 
Champion N8YC plugs and each manufacturer has a different designation for the 
heat range for their plugs so itâ??s hard to do a direct comparison .  Does 
anyone have a source for cooler plugs? Iâ??m not concerned if they are not 
Champions.
        Best,
        Bob
