I have always used the autolite 216s. They work ok for me. I will probably try some NGKs next time, but I can't see how they will be better. As long as they work ok they will be as good as the 216s.
You need to have a plug type that is giving problems to then state that the replacements are an improvement.
NGK are a quality brand though and are an OEM supplier to the automotive industry.

Mart the plug gap at .035 if its a 6 volt system or 12 volt would only be the weak point of the HT side of the ignition circuit if the plug wires being used are junk. Since many of us have had problems with both the 216 and the H-10 stating the NGK replacements are an improvement is exactly what we are doing.
