Yeah, I know, I was just surprised to hear that TR6's take 3/4 reach since
TR3/4 is 1/2" (BP6HC if you can find them). Geezer bike mechanics like me have
the full line of NGK plug specs memorized.

The threaded part of the NGK BP6ES plug is 3/4". From the bottom of the
compression ring to the tip of the plus is 15/16"

I just did a posting to AllAluminumTour.com . things are going well, I'm in
Pittsburgh for the PVGP. BeaveRun last weekend was fun. Ran with the
groundpounders. Had a blast. Sure surprised those guys. Having a car that
stops and turns is quite an advantage.

BTW, I'm listening to the Egypt lectures for a second time. Diane wasn't
with me the first time through. We're up to lecture 44, damn it. only 4 more
to go.

Yes it does, you traveling devil.  How is it going?  Got a couple of your
reports but I sure everyone would like a little more.

  My TR6 also runs a Mallory dual point mechanical advance  distributor that
  has been recurved to better match the hot cam. I use a Mallory racing coil
  called a Promaster.  I am running 10.5:1 compression, big valves in a head
  that is extensively ported. Roller rockers, headers. I am using NGK non
  resistor spark plugs part number BP6ES. I have triple Webers. I found that
  the following spark wire kit works very well. It is made by a company
called
  Taylor. It is 8mm Spiro Pro with the 135 degree boots. Part number 73653.
I
  paid $59.95 for this kit a a local speed shop.
  My engine brings 173 hp to the ground on a chassis dyno at 5,500 ft
  elevation.
  Good luck

  I'm looking to install the optimum performance plug wires for my GT6,
  running a Mallory dual point distributor and a Bosch coil.  the car is
  prepped for vintage racing. Any recommendations and sources?
