I've been telling everyone for years that I only use W9DC. The book calls for W7DC but I find they're a bit too cold. The R in the plug code is for resistor and you really don't need to use this type of plug because the plug wire has a resistor built into it. This tends to cut the voltage back too much and you want as much as you can get reaching the spark plug.

I listened to you Dr. I use W9DC and found the plugs burn cleaner.
