I was interested in your reasoning Jon and you've explained it well, with a valid argument. The only thing you have left out is radio interference, especially if you're fitting copper-cored HT leads.
Normally a resistor plug eg BCPR6ES will provide a bit more interference suppression than the standard BCP6ES non-resistor plug. It can, surprisingly, provide a stronger spark as well, with more accurate spark timing which is all good for economy. If you're not getting radio interference thought there's probably very little to be gained using resistor plugs as you rightly point out, however you may well find because of supply and demand that the resistor plugs are considerably cheaper than non-resistor lugs these days.

I have a good source for NGK plugs at good prices...I've lots of cylinders ! And you know using best quality parts in the ignition system guarantee all should be well - and remember these B230ks don't make big horsepower, good torque though. Off topic - I've seen a trick supercharger install in a 740 - that was interesting. Jon. Last edited by Prufrock; Jun 10th, 2018 at 18:00. |

Capacitors, in-line chokes and all the other tricks to improve interference!
Been there, T-shirt etc. Finding the NGKs at a good price is pretty much essential, i tend to look on fleabay for sets of 6 for about a tenner delivered from carpartssaver/carparts4less/eurocarprats or go to my local parts factor and haggle for a deal on 12 or 18, depending how many i'm doing.

This weekend, this arrived, so I cleaned it thoroughly and am looking forward to fitting it
Also, paid for my new air-con pipework to allow me to (hopefully) get the system working on my 740 turbodiesel in the coming weeks. |

Today, some free time so begin some detailing on the 744, the channel around the boot aperture, especially that under the rear window fills with debris and then during heavy rain cause the boot to get wet.
So. I removed the seal in the offending area and cleaned and polished the paintwork in the channel and cleaned the rubbers with Autoglym rubber lubricant - oooeer ! Here's a pic. Jon. |

Painted on a bit of additional waxoyl underneath where it's been welded for the MoT. Will give it another dollop tomorrow.

Finished the plumbing on the "new" fuel system the other day. Almost finished converting it from k-jet to lh2.4 but I decided to make things more complicated by running two pumps and a swirl pot. 7m of fuel hose required, despite most of the return still being the original hard line.
