NGK with a wider gap.

Thanks Rudy-
Would that be the BP6ES gapped at maybe .045?
The engine currently has Champion N4C spark plugs in it with the small threaded tips that match the Packard 400 plug wire ends.

GS,

I would use B6ES, not BP6ES. I have had issues with the clearances
on the projected tips on BP6ES. Try that gap setting and see how it
goes, should be ok.

It was my understanding that only the earlier V12s, prior to the 330 had the clearance issue with the projected tip BP6ES plugs. Is that not true?

And do these NGK plugs have the tips that inscrew like the Champion plugs? If not, does that put me in the position of having to replace my plug wires?

Thanks again

GS,

You could be right on the clearance situation on the 330 head.
I am just not sure about that and did not want to find out the
hard way! I had serious issues on the GTE.

The NGK plugs have the connection tip that can be unscrewed
from the plug top.
