I usually buy Bosch but I haven't had an air cooled engine on the road for several years.

I have always gotten the best results with the BP6ES & BP7ES NGK's! If my car is running a bit rich I use the 7's!

Edit: Sorry your right 7's under normal and 6's if running rich! All I know is what has worked on my car!

The 7 is too cold for your engine, especially if: (A) It's running rich, and (B) You're using oxygenated fuels. And you are. You'd probably be better off running 5s. Besides all that, you're running extended tip plugs, which weren't installed in 911s until sometime around 1980, IIRC.

I have had much better results with the NGKs, Bosch just isn't what it used to be since they changed them.

Thank you. I need to order some gaskets from them. The last set I got from pmb were platinum, had trouble finding the old coppers.

I've been using NGK's for over 25 years. Including all of my 914's, fours and sixes. I've heard more than one person in the last ten years tell me about Bosch plugs they bought that were bad out of the box.

FLAPs sell plats because the profit margin is far higher and the co-op advertising is huge. I use NGKs because the heat range is wider.

Help me solve something related to my Bosch plugs.

This is a totally stock 73 2.0L Djet.

It is running lean. Plugs look cold and light beige.

Joe Sharp said I was too lean. How do I pick a better plug or make it run less lean?

At first years ago I was blackening the plugs, but then timing and a new harness from from Jeff B seems to make it run lean.

is there something else to do besides plugs?

I am pretty sure timing is spot on at 27BTDC at 3300 rpm. Checked it 3 times.

Thanks!

John
