MG Midget and Sprite Technical - what type of spark plugs?

Hello all,

I need to replace my spark plugs again. I have a 1979 midget, su carb. What type of plugs would you recommend?

Thanks all for the input

Hi, Linda. I ran Bosch Platinums in my '78 for a few years with no problems at all. Then I switched to NGK when someone on this BBS recommended them. They're also doing fine.

A quick search on the NAPA website shows:

NGK7734 - their basic plug (the ones I'm using)
NGK1233 - V Power type with a grooved electrode
NGK7082 - G Power Platinum
NGK6597 - VX Platinum

That's it for NGK. NAPA list other brands too, but I know NGK is well regarded so I just listed those. I don't know if the numbers listed are good in the UK, but if not, perhaps you can find a cross-reference or something.

And naturally, I meant to type "Lynda." Argh...

Thanks, Gryf, now I am not the only one to do that to her ;-)
