The original fittment was Champion RN9Y or RN9YC
The best conventional plugs for a road RV8 engine are NGK BPR6E or PBR6ES Gap setting is 0.9mm or 0.035"



For longlife Platinum NGK PFR6N before fitting remember to gap to 0.9mm The hex size is smaller but that isn't significant.

For longlife Irdium (best plug for LPG) NGK BKR6EIX-11
Again gap requires closing down to 0.9mm and smaller hex.

Is that the same using a trigger wheel setup and Ford coil packs?
