PLUG's B20

I know this a silly question but I will ask it anyway.
Are the plug's in a B20 short reach or long reach at the moment I have Champion plug in the motor , but have a few of the Volvo type but of course there is no identification on the Volvo plug's
Thanks Peter Cannon

Another shout for the NKG plugs from me.

Always used to use Champion double copper on my old Fords - my Amazon (B20), however, really, really doesn't like 'em. Someone on here recommended the NKGs quite a few years back and I've not used anything else since.

The only problem with Volvo Plugs is that they have no Number on them ;
hence the question Thanks

Volvo don't make plugs, they have them made to their spec's. Probably NGK
Volvo don't make cars, they only assemble them from parts made to their spec's.

Unsure

Had many problems with faulty old stock Volvo original plugs (I believe they were made by Bosch). Far fewer issues with NGK.

That certainly was not the case in the 1970's when the B20 was current , perhaps volvo chose a cheaper specification Bosch for more recent years
