i have a 78SC so W8DC Bosch are my go to and BP6ES on occasion when i see them . Just thought before firing in another set i would find out if people are going with modern alternatives these days.

Good question Iceman.

I installed new plugs in my 84 911 about 6 months ago. This time I broke out of the "dinosaur" mentality and installed NGK Iridium (BR7EIX) plugs. So far, I have been very pleased. Engine runs strong and smooth...no misfires, stumbling or hiccups. Be interesting to examine them after a couple thousand miles and see how they look.
