near impossible as they are dicontinued and repalced by the lesser 071c plugs.

i run pp8's in mine and no probs at 18psi

i use NGK 9s & run 18 psi and they seem fine bit over priced but you get what you pay for but having said that the bcr8s will do the job just as good. dont know if they will last as long tho.

I have a low-mileage used set of the original NGK 9's in my garage. Not sure if they are any good to anyone?
