I'm running 0.028" on my BJ8 with Pertronix, and could probably go a bit=20
wider.

Your having kept the Champions in for over 46,000 miles would usually
lead to conclude you had a good to great experience with them.

On the other hand, to change brand after all that time and mileage
would seem to indicate just the opposite!

Nah. I usually pull them once a year for inspection (removing for
valve check/adjustment and compression check anyway), clean and re-gap
as necessary, then keep on truckin' until next time. No reason to do
it more frequently as long as the engine is running well. I currently
have 12,411 miles on a set of NGK BP6ES plugs installed new in October
2012. I got 46,500 miles out of the previous set of Champion RN12YC.

I see that the BMC manual suggest replacing the plugs every 12,000
miles, they having been checked every 1,000 miles per the same book.
=20
Do you guys hold to that approximately? By that I mean=E2=80=A6..all th=
ings
being equal and the plugs looking OK & working OK, only swap at +/-
12,000 miles.
=20
Maybe plugs last longer these days? Most things don=E2=80=99t in my exp=
erience.
=20
For what it=E2=80=99s worth, I=E2=80=99m running NGK=E2=80=99s BP6ES. A=
s to the gap, I=E2=80=99ll leave
that can of worms closed for the while!
