Re: [alfa] 164 spark plug?

["DAEGRIGG" <daegrigg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had good experience with NGK.  For the S, I use their #3783 and my car
burns some oil.  They run about $1.75.  You can also go to their 3500, which
I have not used, but they list this as an OE replacement with platinum bor
about $10 each.   The standard plug works for me.
