I have a fresh 2.2 914/6 engine that will run with Weber 40's, E-Spec cams, 3 liter oil pump, K&N air filters with rainshields, standard distributor and MSD spark box, headers and 2 in 2 out sport exhaust. What would be the best plugs to run with this combo?

I'm a big fan on NGK plugs. BP5 or 6 ES would probably be about right.
If you have the complete MSD set-up (hot coil & fat wires), gap the plugs at .045.

Brian I am running plain jane NGK copper plugs in the 3.0 in the 914 + 911. They are cheap and don't foul and perform great. No reason to use anything else in my opinion. Merry Christmas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Don't run any platinum plugs, they're junk in our engines.
