Default Spark plugs

What would be the best type of plug for me to get for my I6 200?

Just pulled my plugs and they are Mighty brand and look pretty black (fouled). I don't know how long they have been in there. About to pull the head so its not like I'm in any hurry.

yep. autolites are plenty good. as soon as you have the new ones in kep checking on them for mixture, oil ... so you can adjust straight away before destroying another set

Never knew that. I always had mine at 45, but then I went with a DSII distributor and opened then up more.
