Re: which plugs - 8 port
Are they 10mm motorcycle types Paul??
If so we've used NGK C7E without too much bother. They are a lower heat range plug so warm up & burn clear very well. I would use a '6' if it were available but it starts & runs on the '7' & has been hillclimbed, track dayed & generaly buggered about with. The only fouling problems have been if the car is started & moved about in the garage without being fully warmed or driven. Four starts & stops on different days & then yes it will foul!!

Even Timo Makinen had to get advice from John Glover of Champion on that!
