My '93 Heritage Classic likes Autolite plugs and at least 91 octane gas.

I guess I'm old school. Champions 12 RNYC and 87 octane work fine in my EVO.

87 octane.

NGK and I like "major" fuel stations; Union 76, Chevron, Mobile, etc, I prefer Union 76 due to it still being American owned. I've found that my vehicles run better and get better mileage with it...your results may vary. And non-ethanol premium.

I would do that... tho the octane rating is higher on ethanol added... it is not "good" octane" it is due to the damn alcky-hol... I dislike it..
I find Champion plugs will recover from fowling better than any...and NGK is in fact the worst for that... Don't foul 'em... I use Autolites and AC more than anything... Long as ya don't use iridium or that ****... you'll be fine..
Kinda Like oil...everybody has a favorite... might ask yerself what's the experience level ... then make any choice ya want to.. it's all good..


Note exotic Metal Plugs are for longevity Only... and require more "juice" to actually fire... But, long as it does fire... that's all that is required... I change plugs Regularly... Cheaper than oil!!!!!
