NGK all the way! if you want a really good set of leads give michael at ICE ignitions a call, a 8mm spiral wound set should be around the $100 mark.

this is the plug i have had great responce from and i doubt they make them for hire equipment . i am wondering if the hire equipmet was getting on in age and fowling the plugs, do you know how to read plugs. curently use iridium by bosch and they work great with lpg too.
MOTOSPECS automotive aftermarket products - incl brakes, suspension, transmission & electrical

i have never had a problem with this champion plug apart from speeding fines

I just got NGK BP6ES and Bosch leads.
Worked great until the engine was hot, then missfired....

BUT.... i can say it was them.. until i change the dizzy tommorow.

If that fixes it then its all good


Bloody rovers....

no point reading the plug if it fails to spark the equipment was brand new, new and used.

scorcher distributer made in australia by preformance ignition with leads 700 au includes bosch electrics built in, more spark than you would ever care for. well worth the money.

fwiw, AC-delco plugs for a rover V8 are ~$8-$9 each for a double platinum tip plug....

another vote for queensland ignition leads too

I have gasmaster leads - as recommended by fellow users - and run NGK Iridiums. I get them for $14 each via the web, as opposed to the $20+ that most people are asking.

People who know a lot more about this than I do recommend Magnacore and NGK, see the following

RPi Engineering - V8 Engine - Electrical

so where are magnacore leads sold?
