Correct spark plugs and leads 320/6

Post by Mucka »

Hi

Please can some advise me on the correct spark plugs for a 320/6

I had a quick search but I could not find them.
I'm going to change the plugs , leads, dizzy cap and rotor

Thanks

Bosch W8D as per our own Specs page or my personal favorite Bosch Super 4 plugs model WR78 as they provide slightly better idle and midrange torque.

If you still have the factory leads, new leads is the best you can give your 320/6, but they don't come cheap.
