    Question confused about spark plugs

    wich one should I choose?
    it's an 86 carburated automatic 2.0L
    I intend of keeping the original engine parts (excluding K&N air filter).

    thanks

    I believe consensus on the board is that NGK V-powers are the way to go.

    Re: confused about spark plugs

    the V-power is a series , wich number do I need?

    edit:
    here are the numbers

    why is such a big price difference among the same number?

    Re: confused about spark plugs

    Because of the shipping. You can get a 4 pack for 45 with free shipping, or pay 1.95 each plus $10 shipping. Either way you pay about 40 bucks. Also, some of those are not V-powers, a few are iridiums, some are copper, etc.

    Re: confused about spark plugs

    I only need four plugs .
    this one looks just fine , right?
    I don't think I need Iridium , I use them on my bikes , but it's an overkill for my Accord..

    you need the plain V power, the fancy plugs only make this engine run worse.

    you don't need a fancy plug on these old engines they run best on the old basic v power plug,thats what they were designed around. anything else is tossing money out the window,

    Yes plain copper plugs are fine.

    What brands do they sell in your country so you don't have to have them shipped in?
