I think these are the right ones then: NGK APR6FS
(the resistor version)

burtons stock them, but so should any decent motorfactor (I got them for 1/2 of burtons price)

they are the ones I got for mine, so they better be the right ones

Pretty sure mine are the none resistor version from halfrauds. I remember I had to be artful which I picked up as they were mixed together.

someone told me {a long time ago now} that it would be best to use resistive plugs and leads for the MJ+EDIS setup


searching for the old thread now, standby.....................................................................

Depends what you are using it for , the 6,s are ok for a bit of touring and easy starting on fairly std engine, would certainly go up to 7,s for any fast road work. I use 8,s for trackdays / Hill climbs. Also depends on state of tune, up the grade a bit if you have a fast road cam / higher compression etc. I don't think the resistor type make any difference on the MegaJolt / EDIS. But not certain. Would be nice to have a definitive answer.

Standard engine on points = 6's
Standard engine on electronic dizzy/mj inc mild tune = 7's
Lairy engine with high compression = 8's you will need electronic/mj to run 8's without misfire.

Sorry if I cause confusion, mines on points.

ISTR many years ago reading an article in CCC by Dave Walker?? about using an adapter to fit motorcycle plugs in a Pinto as they were available in a greater heat range
