Nope.
The Champion plug that seems to be the most commonly available
off-the-shelf is RN12YC (I may have jumbled the letters). This for a
BJ8; my BN2 uses a different one, but I don't recall offhand (N9?). The
'R' is for resistor, which I believe is about 15KOhms, the 'C' is for
copper (none of that fancy iridium or platinum stuff for an old Brit
car). I run them with 7mm stranded wire secondaries, with resistor plug
caps--again, about 15KOhms--and have never had an issue, and I have a
Pertronix points sets on both my Healeys. They're good, with one re-gap,
for over 25K miles but, usually, if I go to the trouble to pull them I
put new ones in. Years ago I bought a bunch on sale for about $1/ea. at
Pep Boys.
I've mentioned before that Champion brand is the go-to in light aircraft
piston engines; they have standard and 'fine-wire' electrodes for
engines that are known for lead fouling.

Using the incorrect spark plug for the application does not
