I think the Champions we have in our BN2/100M are RN9YC; I can verify this weekend.

Not to get too far off the subject about Healeys, but my Harley Davidson (30s technology like our cars) runs the best on the cheapest Ford Autolite 4164 copper plugs.  I tried "high performance" plugs from Harley Davidson and saw no difference.  Best of all they are only 89 cents a piece when on sale and I only need two at a time.  Does anyone know for sure which Champion plug works for the BN2?

Never had much problems with trouble because of plugs on any of my vehicles in the past 55 years. The only thing that is more or less important is to gap them, clean them once in a while and replace when they are to far gone. I do not think I even did that in the last ten years or so. I have nearly always used Champion plugs as they are very cheap: between €8 and €15 for four.

I presume that electronic ignition (Pertronix in my case) may also help.

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.
