MG TD TF 1500 - Thread: Relpacement sparkplug for the NGK BPR6S

This post is repeated on the MGB thread.

There has been a great deal of discussion on the BBS regarding the best plugs for MGs in general. The most often recommended is the NGK BP6S or the BPR6s, the resister version and best suited if you have a radio installed. After much consternation in trying to find a set of BPR6S plugs, I Discovered that these plugs have been discontinued and replaced with the below plugs.

According to the Tech Rep at NGK, the Iridium is the best choice. I think that this overkill. My choice is the G-power. The below list of currently available and recommended plugs for MGs is provided below and may help in your selection.

Frank - Good information. I have been using the BP6ES for more years than I care to recall and have had no problem with them at all. Cheers - Dave
