spark plug recommendation needed

[fried okra]

Good input group, am gonna try some Champion W16Y plugs, slightly hotter than the 3X's I gather. The Champion W89D or 589/W89D appears to be a good option also.

Here is a link to some general info:

As I said in post #5. That's why I'm going with modern plugs but NGK have just responded to an enquiry from me telling me that BP5E is not one of their numbers so I checked the plug I have again and guess what. BP5E is correct. Man, these companies can be frustrating!

It is a hot plug and works great for my city speeds between 30 & 45 mph.

Maybe some far, far away place like the USA? I guess it all depends on where you start for what is far away. Just half joking.
The plugs are made in Japan. NGK is a Japanese brand. They were my favourite when I was a kid using them in my motorcycles.

I found a seller on EBay selling four new Motorcraft TT10 for $29.99 - $7.50 each, in other words. I'll let you know if they show up as advertised.

I think someone said these work well in Model A engines. Any truth to that?

[mcgarrett]

Sorry about the glare on the porcelain - these are Champion C 16C.

JayJay,
Thanks for the info re Motorcraft TT10 Plugs. I have a few extra sets, so I am well supplied. I am sad to see these plugs are no longer available.

I use W18 Champions in my car. They were recommended by a now deceased FordBarn'r: Purdy Swof. I believe that is how he spelled his "handle". The W18's are the modern version of the 3X plugs so I have been told.
