I have had good experience w/NGK plugs. Their threads are machined so that they seat squarely into the head when installing, under and angled up behind the exhaust manifold as they are. They seem to be durable enough, though any motor with a worn timing chain / nylon cam gear will foul an otherwise good plug. The previous few thousand of miles before my nylon cam gear failure, I would have a fouled plug just days after replacing them. After the new chain / steel gearset, and a thousand miles, plugs still fire ok. Thus, your actual MPP may vary. Eric '63 Crown Four-Door '72 Newport Custom Sedan
