I have 3 FERRARIS what brand & # of plugs should I use on 1984/308 euro
thanks

By number I'm sure it's the part number, not number of plugs. You'll get an answer soon, not my area.

and

WELCOME!

NGK BP7ES (non resistor type) or BPR7ES (resistor type) if you run it fairly hard. If not then go with BP6ES or BPR6ES

how about this other NGK was also recomended
just put in today that was also recomended! NGK IRIDIUM BPR6EIX

now if I can only sell ONE of my 3 FERRARIS I'll be a happy camper thanks

The IRIDIUM should work well, stronger spark and life from what I'm told. All depends on the power of the coils sending the spark too though. For a 308 might not get too much extra benefit.

As Andrew said, Iridiums are great plugs but only if your car has a high energy ignition. Their stock gap is usually larger than older style copper core plugs, so if the rest of your ignition isn't up to snuff, you may have a rough running car.

Probably why Ferraripilot recommended more standard type NGK's for you.

I sure wouldn't try to run Iridiums on an older car with a conventional coil and distributor setup.
