Is there any other option for plugs other than the BUZHW-2 or BUHW-2. I would like to run a regular J gap style plug

Confused me on the "Tower of Power" part. That's reserved for the Inline 6. Got it's nickname the old fashioned way.....it earned it.

Why do you want to run a non surface gap plug? OB engines came out originally with the gapped plugs. When Capacitor Discharge Ignitions came out with the open circuit voltage potential of 40,000 volts occuring in a few millionths of a second, the spark plug requirement changed drastically. Surface gaps became the norm. The service manual for my 90 listed a J gap alternative plug for the NGK surface gaps that were standard issue. I tried them for awhile and went back to the surface gap. Didn't buy me anything. Somebody posted on here some time ago about the reason for the SG but I don't remember who did and what they said.

On your question, I can't help you. Sorry.
