I have no running issues right now, however I know the current plugs are not OEM(Autolite 404). What are the correct plugs for this engine?

The serial number is #2769987.

Thanks in advance.

Re: OEM Plugs for MC165

I read in the 1973 Mercruiser manual(orange cover) to use AC CR44TS...I don't believe that is a current number. Looking up the automotive application for the same engine I see AC CR45's...

I also see from some similar posts to stay far, FAR away from Champions, Bosch et al...

Looks like the AC's or NGK's are the most popular.

Any opinions and/or recommendations?

As I said, I have no running issues...just thought I'd replace these at the end of the season.
