I just ordered some Clewett spark plug wires for the six and I'm going to change the plugs at the same time. Ignition rotor and cap are only 6 months old. Engine is a stock internal 3.0 with Weber carbs and Mallory multi spark ignition. All my records are still in moving boxes and I haven't pulled the old ones yet so what are the recommended plugs/heat ranges for street driving ? I generally like NGK standard copper plugs but have run copper Bosch in the past. Thanks and happy new year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) .

Well, I disagree with you, and I've been working on Porsches since 1963. Champion plugs had, at that time, and for a long time thereafter, cut threads, while Bosch, Lodge, NGK, Beru, and possibly others, had rolled threads. I don't know if that's still the case. Cut threads were hell on aluminum heads, and we saw thread damage on countless engines, both VW and Porsche, that were running, or had run, Champion plugs.
As for you "Not Made Here" theory, VW, BMW, and others come with NGK plugs as original equipment, and Porsche has used both Motorola (US) and Valeo (French) alternators and regulators for years. The Cap'n |
