[Healeys] Spark Plugs

[Laurie Wilford]

I continue to use only Champion plugs in my Healeys but have experienced at least two episodes of plug problems over the years. Based on the number of miles covered that is probably not too bad, but the second time was with a newly installed set of plugs. One was defective.
Both times the symptoms were intermittent missing both at idle and on the highway.  Finally changing plugs was of course one of the last things I did.

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
