[Healeys] Spark Plugs

Wed Jan 27 09:03:57 MST 2021

Bit of an open-ended question. I keep an eye on my plugs. (Through the cracks in the block!)  And, over the years, I’d say that NGKs last longer than Champions. That’s only an impression because a) I change plugs, like oil and filter,  sooner rather than later and b) I know that, now I’ve switched to NGK, I’m bound to think better of them now than I did of Champions before.

If you see what I mean……………………

I’ve never had plugs let me down as a certainty. I have had situations where I’ve seen big improvements from swapping plugs, leads, points etcetc. Sometimes, even a coil as well if it fell under any degree of suspicion. A sort of electrical spring-clean. But a purely plug-related issue? No.

I have never had a spark plug let me down. Has anyone on the list ever had an issue that could be attributed to a spark plug? Using the incorrect spark plug for the application does not count, nor does failing to change plugs when required. Both of those are attributed to the failure of the person responsible for maintenance.

Seems like a sacrelige to use Japanese plugs in a British machine. Especially since the 240 Z buried the British sports car market in the '70s.

I have always used Champion UN12Y plugs as specified for the BJ8, and never had a problem even though Champion had some bad press about their manufacturing.  Of course I use regular points, so maybe there is not as much demand on my plugs. Hank

Good Afternoon All
I’ve been using NGK spark plugs , BP6 ES. In my 67 BJ8 with electronic ignition. I just went to my local parts store and I was told they can’t get them anymore.
What else is everyone using with success?
Thank You , Don Day 67 BJ8
