Two things, hopefully this will be easy for one of you that knows something about motors. 
<br /><br />OK, I looked in the NGK book and found my motor, a 1979 Spirit 85hp, and saw the plugs they listed, BR8HS - gap to .36. I got home and looked in my Clymers manual for the recommended gap setting just to be safe, and it also said .36. But, for an 85hp, it said to use B8HS, which is the same plug but not a resistor type. I double checked my motor and that's what it had in it, the B8HS. So, I went online and double checked what NGK said to use, and it did say the BR8HS. Hmmmm....so I looked up the 1979 Suzuki DT85 (which I thought was the exact same as my motor, and is really what my Clymer manual is for) and NGK says to use the B8HS!<br /><br />So, question 1: Is there that much difference between the two, and if so, which do you think I should use?<br /><br />Question 2 (this one is hopefully silly): My spark plug wires don't fit on these spark plugs because these ones have a cap on the threads at the end. Can those safely be removed if I do want to use these?<br /><br />Thanks, hopefully this is pretty easy, but better safe than sorry!
