'87 3.2 spark plug recommendation??
 
Looking for advice of which plugs to get? Any recommendations for my '87 3.2L?

Thanks.

I'm going to give you the short answer (but go ahead and read that link too): NGK BPR6ES is a great choice for your 3.2 but Boschs would be fine too. Forget about trying anything other than copper plugs.

Same as Keith: NGK BPR6ES

I use Bosch platinum 4 #4477

Thanks to all for your feedback.

I took the advice to get the NGK BPR6ES plugs and installed them. What a difference! I first noticed how quickly the car fired up. When it settled down, it became very apparent that the idle was smoother. The car also seems to be more responsive.

When I pulled my other plugs out, I noticed that two of the six had a much smaller gap than the recommended gap of .028. Not sure how/why... this could have been the cause for a slightly rougher idle, not sure?

It's hard to believe that such a small change can make such a big difference!

Again, thanks for advice.
