And a new bosch super is what, about $1.99 these days? Seems easier to
just change the plugs to me

Back in the good 'ol days(mid 90's) I used to pick them up for 99
cents each.......

The Bosch Super spark plug W8AC is not available anymore for the Type
I engine.

It has been replaced with the Bosch Super Plus plug WR8AC.
You can get them at cip1.com.
They say it works just as well.

http://www.autozone.com/ sells the NGK plugs part number 7534 which is
the NGK B6HS plug for $2.49. But, they are available only online and
you have to add shipping.

Aircooled.net recommends the NGK B5HS plug for the stock Type I
engine.
