Marine Spark Plugs?

[Rippin_54]

I have a 1988 5.0(305) which I am putting new spark plugs into.

The plug numbers i got were "Champion - RV8C", NKG-BR6FS, and a couple more listings.

When I went to parts store to get them, I noticed that they were all automotive plugs. Now I am just wondering if on these engines that you just use the outomotive style, or do I special order from a marine shop?

And also if there are any recomendations on a good quality plug?
If it takes regular plugs, I was just going to get the Regular Champion plugs.

Thanx.

Marine rated plugs are supposed to have the shell made from a more corrosion resistant material ,but after 2 years they look the same as auto ones. Your choice..

the automotive plugs are fine, as long as they are the same heat range. i like the ngk's, was told to stay away from champion. a/c's are good too.
