Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 13, 2016 Member Share Posted May 13, 2016 No idea, but NGK say BCPR7E and that's confirmed by a couple of other vendors: 1, 2.Searching for BCPR7E in the archives only gives posts about K series.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 14, 2016 Member Share Posted May 14, 2016 Which edition is that, please? I checked my first edition when I was searching after ECR didn't get an answer and it has those on p217 for "Vauxhall 16 valve" but on p224 it says "part numbers for the 1991 Vauxhall engined HPC model were not available at the time of writing".ThanksJonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANGO7 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 WRT Tony Weale Book - not sure what Edition it is but Publication Date is 1991 and the info on plugs is on page 217. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Piers300 Posted May 15, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted May 15, 2016 RogerTony Weale's book on page 217 says Champion C6 3YC, but this is for the 175 bhp engine. Piers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Boy Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Another here who fitted NGK BCPR7ES.What came out interestingly were GM branded ones FLR8L, think Hyperion put them in about seven years ago. Found one identical set on eBay but decided to go with the lower cold rated and seemingly more recommended NGKs.Car is running well on the NGKs.CheersDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGO7 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hi All,So do we not assume the 175bhp is not the "Standard" engine on carbs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Boy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yes 175bhp is the standard output for carbs. 165bhp for injection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
