[Roadsters] Was points, now NGK BP6E versus B6E

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Dan,

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 all vehicles with 
emissions controls, but will work fine with earlier cars.  Not sure one can 
still buy the B6ES.
