Dear Bid and others, I use NGK BP6HE. These are long reach plugs suitable for late XPAG's and XPAW's, the latter of which is fitted in my TA and seem to have been fine over the last 3k miles. I was amused, Bud, by the re-working of `sea level' to `seal level' - unintentional of course, but a tad more romantic!

Dunno if you missed it, but the new issue of Classic Motorsports has a article on the Pertronix and other ignition units. Throw your points away! Get a electronic unit that bolts right in the dizzy and enjoy reliable ignition. The main advantage is a much smoother running engine, and one more tolerant of slightly "off" mixture. Probably more tolerant of seals, too, though no mention was made of them. According to their dyno, it added exactly 1 horsepower to the out put, too! Best, Ray "Conlige suspectos semper habitos!"

I'm fairly new to T's so I don't know all the best bits and pieces to get. So what's the best way to go for plugs, any recommendations? Thanks in advance for you time on this. BOBS 48 TC XPAG 5899

Well, unless you live real close to the auto supply store you'll probably want to drive. Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll go away now... -- Chip Old 1948 M.G. TC Cub Hill, Maryland, US TC6710 XPAG7430 fold@bcpl.net NEMGTR #2271

Bob, If you have an original XPAG TC engine you will want plugs with 1/2" threads. I run NGK's number BP6HS, stock number 7331. They seem to work well, there may be other opinions. As far as I know the original Champions are no longer available.

NB Please remember to purchase the Non- Resistor type. I originally got the Resistor type by mistake. Tally Ho! Thom [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

First of all, verify that you have a 1/2 reach head. There are casting numbers that you can look at on the right front top side of the head, or just remove a spark plug, and use a flashlight to see how long the threaded hole is. I have very good luck with NGK B6HS, or Bosch Platinum 4214 for a TC. John Seim Irvine, CA bobhs57 wrote:

My car is fouling NGK B6HS Sparkplugs. Any advice besides higher revs? Bill Williams
