Seriously. What is up with spark plug prices? I am painfully familiar with the Porsche tax, but $47 per plug from the "discount" Porsche Parts dealers? That's for 1 plug best I can tell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
This is for 1970 914-6. Very stock 2.0L with CDI ignition and MARELLI distributor. I'm searching the factory parts catalog numbers and what they superseded to:
Thought maybe I could go direct to Bosch, but neither the Porsche part numbers or the product locator by model bring up any matches. I did come up with some indirect matches for a Bosch WR5DC at $5 each. Based on other threads, and what's available, the NGK BR6ES also seems like the reasonable path for $5. Am I missing something?
