Default Did ngk stop making the b8esf? part # 1049

I have been looking high and low for some b8efs plugs and 2 local retailers say they no longer make the plug and the rest seem to be out. What is a good substitute plug in this heat range besides the b8esf?

Autolite AR474 for a non projected tip.

I haven't heard anything about them being discontinued...maybe they didn't want to do any legwork for you.

I called NGK and they said NAPA could order them for sure. They still make it.

Been looking for those also. I was going to order the ngk from your website but need them friday and your 2 day shipping was too much for me.
Thank you for the help

This is true accoding to the guy at NGK. Call there tech support and complain about your napa. Look on ebay should be able to pick up some brand new ones.

Usually the case.....

I went to NAPA looking for submersible fuel hose and got the same result.

are you talking about the BR8EF whick is a non projected, 8 heat range, because the b8efs doesn't exists. you can add the "S" to the end which make the tip a screw on. napa should be able to order them all day for you or even carquest

I'm pretty sure you are incorrect on this one... The 8 heat range plug is not a resistor plug... That's what the "R" in BR7EF is. I did some leg work for the OP with the research on plugs I did for my setup, he needs a B8EFS


B - 14mm thread diameter
8- Heat Range
EF - Tapered Seat .708" reach
S - Standard 2.5mm D Electrode

That's a breakdown of the NGK Part number
