spark plugs

[jmonsrvr]

just wondering what kind of spark plugs all of you are running in your classics...with 4.2 engines...i have a 93 lwb and would like to hear some feed back on this (do most run stock or ??)....cheers

also anyone try out those 400 dollar spark plug wires from rover connection???

Been running Champion truck plugs 4404 with Magnecor wires for years in my 92 RRC and 96 4.0se. Both run great, no problems or complaints, cheap and available just about anywhere. $400 for plug wires, what a waste to put in an ancient lump of an engine. Get the Magnecor's for $60 and spend the remainder on more important things like Beer!

i agree.... on the wires i would never spend that......i run magnecor 8mm in my disco and 7mm in my range rover....just wondering on the plugs for a rr.....cheers

Stock Champions (ERR3799/RN11YCC) and Magnecor 8.5mm wires. Works for me.

plugs

Champion RN11YCC is the genuine, original plug. It is a European plug, not readily available in the US, except through LR dealers or RN or mailorder or etc. etc.

RN11YC4 is the same size plug, and as close to the original as you can get. It is also listed as a 322.

The difference is: The CC is a double-copper core, meaning that both the center electrode and the side one both have a copper core. The C4 only has a copper core in the center electrode.

Champion also has a plug, the 3322, which is a Platinum Power plug. It has the double copper core, with platinum around it. some folks like this one and usually its around U$1.50 each.

hope this helps.

Interesting, I never knew that. I did get the plugs from Europe though, and not for $1.50 each

I use the RN12YC, slightly hotter than stock. I used NGKs previously and they ran very well (might have the "double copper").
