SPARK PLUGS

[Rick Allen]

Read at one time that NGK XR4 (5858) plugs would be good choice for a '64 R2 with stock ignition, anyone can confirm that?,,,

I looked at a crossover chart and the XR4 is equivalent to a Champion RJ14YC…I think that’s a bit too hot.  The XR5 is closer to the proper heat range but crossover charts can be inaccurate when it comes to heat ranges.

More than one Avanti performance shop recommend Autolite AP85 Platinum spark plugs for an R2.  That's what I run in mine.

Another vote for Autolite AP85 plugs. Brad Bez put them in our R3, and I have been so pleased with them, I now have Autolites in a number of our other cars and they are all working great.
