sparkplugs for a 1967 merc 500

[rolmops]

The merc I was given has serial# 2160244,which makes it a 1967.The sparkplugs that are in it are Champion L78V,but my manual says they should be L4J.<br />Is the L78V the newer factory advised version or is this a mistake by the previous owner?<br />thanks in advance, Rolmops.

Hi Rolmops,<br /><br />My parts manual (Merc genuine) calls for Champion L19V.<br /><br />Chris...........

Apparently there is no direct cross reference anymore for L4J but Champion L82C is probably as close as you can get.
