here is the list I compiled a couple years ago.

NGK B6HS & B5HS
Champion L86C
Champion CJ7Y low profile ( I like these)
Autolite 425
ND W2OFS_U
Bosch W9EO

The plugs in bold print are the ones I have personally and successfully used.
does anyone use any of these?
has anyone found more to add to the list?

I want to confirm my list, but NAPA only carries the 1st three .
thanks
Dave

One should not use plugs that place threads inside the combustion chamber for two reasons.

1- The thread/s can fill with carbon and start damaging fragile aluminum cylinder head threads when removed. It can get so bad the plug threads go into a bind at removal.

2- With extended heavy load on a hot day the thread that is exposed inside the chamber can glow just enough to induce deadly detonation. This leads directly to a holed piston or a piston seizure. Bad stuff for sure.

(I have seen a seizure cause by a Heli-coil plug hole repair that was hanging into the chamber by half a thread.)

Solution? Use an old gasket along with a new one or use a solid copper ring to space the plug out enough. This is the only image I could find on a quick search. Called index washers. They are used to place to open side of the plug gap directly at the incoming air charge when the plug is tightened.

NGK B6HS OR B5HS are the best direct replacements.

I have fitted an Autolite 4093 with no problems, but haven't checked to see if it goes into the cylinder at all.
 
spark plugs

I have not messed with these in years, but I can tell you that I remember that not all of the heads are threaded the same depth, and in many cases the orig plug is actually too short,. Mike

Every home-brew mechanic should have one of these, they can be had in plastic, from Harbor Freight for <<$10. A vernier caliper w/depth gauge.

I got a NGK B6HS as spare, but use the one that came with the motor
