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.
Never under estimate the ingenuity of an idiot!

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
