Swap out Spark Plugs on HE
#101
You can get GXL wire from Bursons Auto Parts, at least I can in Warrnambool.
or on eBay
11 AUTOMOTIVE WIRE 16 GAUGE GXL WIRE ELEVEN COLORS 25' EACH COLOR 275' HIGH TEMP | eBay
Also get yourself a crimping tool and crimp the injector connectors directly to the new harness.

G'day Guys
I decided to move the thread over to here, now the topic has changed from plugs to the injector harness:

when I redid my injector loom, I kept the old plug in at the end of the harness since the wire was still pliable. I also made use of a board for laying out the wires, following the old wires one at time as I went along.
instead of making a diagram, I mounted poster bard on a piece of plywood I had and use self stick 3m hooks then ran the wires according to the old
did leave plenty of extra and saved the old connector with a pig tail to connect new wires to

That is a great idea Dave cheers. Some of the other chaps had mentioned the same idea also. I think I will definitely copy this method

I'm changing my plugs as well, along with spark plug wires, dizzy cover and rotor. We will see if I end up doing injector harness as well, but for now it's not the plan
David Manners tells me they will supply NGK BR7EFS for my 1989 eurospec non-Marelli 5.3 HE.
In post #6 in this thread Grant Francis tell us he uses BPR6EF
I will get a colder plug without projected insulator, but with copper core.
Thread, reach and cone is similar, so it will fit, but is it what I want ?
Cold will foul up before a hotter plug, but will also resist heat better. As long as I'm not racing the car I suppose 6 is better than 7.

Having just removed mine (for the first time) .. Very scary.. had to soak them all for a week in Penetrene etc.. I had to use a 1m breaker bar on some VERRY tight plugs. Note GF's advice and remove the Dizzy cap to get at plugs 3 and 4. There were fragments of my previous cap floating around in my V.. And use never seeze grease on new plugs for next time and tighten only to 10lbf/ 1/16 turn!

I have run the "6" in the HE for years, and I drive HARD, the wife HARDER, and no issues ever.
The PreHE gets "5" coz thats hers, and that gets caned.
I also use the "P" on the HE to get the spark out into the swirl chamber, as apposed to up inside itself, just works for me. We also got 12.5:1 comp, so the plugs do work hard.
Different climate by a long shot to yours, so your choice I suppose.
Different fuels also.
Greg has advised WELL, and his climate/etc would be similar to yours.
