B20---Denso Iridiums. Probably overkill, but I have a great aftermarket electronic ignition system (MSD 6A) and after investing in distributor, coil, and plug wire upgrades, it kinda makes sense to go with the best you can get. Besides, the guy who sold them to me didn't know what they were worth so I got them for $1 each.

And NO, I'm not ashamed of myself for taking advantage! Obviously he didn't pay for them if he didn't know their value!

The Autolite is an excellent, easy to get replacement. NAPA, Pep Boys and others. #275 would be the number to start with - good, wide heat range. Long lasting. If you prefer non-extended tip, #425.

Autolite 275 (NGK is scarce in my country). Autolite sparkplus has a long duration (in comparision to champions, due hard electrode), but it's prone to fail due oil fouling if the piston ring was worn. If the car suffer compression loss, I will be vouch for the NGKs (or champions if NGKs are unavailable).

NGK BP6HS unless they get fouled. In that case I use NGK BP5HS which is
a little bit hotter and will burn the fouling off.
The are both good and cheap.

I'll put in my $0.02 for the NGKs. Just like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, they fall between two Bosch plug heat ranges, and are j-u-u-st right for my cars! Some folks of my aquaintance swear by Autolites (#276? #275? for B-18/20), and I like them for my B-14 and B-16 engines. Those plugs are, if I remember right, #303 and #306.

NGK BP6HS because they seem to perform better than anything else I've tried.
