So I was out in the garage working on the last bit of body work on the 142 I'll be swapping my 71 into.

I tried to get the 71 running etc, not long ago I drained the gas and replaced it with fresh gas and stabilizer. Things fired up nice at the time, today not so. Ran real rough and wouldn't stay running very long, checked the plugs and they looked pretty black. Definatly getting gas, not sure if I'm getting enough spark. It's sat behind the garage since last summer, when it was parked after the rear-ender everything ran fine as well as when I would start it up regularly. Figure I should change the plugs and try to get it running, I'm almost ready to start the mechanical swap. Should be back together by the spring I hope. So what should I pick up for plugs?

Any recomendations, 71 142 B20e.

Thanks.
Chris
