And even in the older Saab's which don't have any electronic engine management, using the specified NGK plugs removes one possible cause of problems when something goes wrong. I run BP6ES's in my two non-turbo 8V C900's and the turbo car has a brand new quad of BP7ES's fitted. They're actually replacing some horribly coked Bosch 'super-4' plugs - pic is available at: http://www.classicsaab.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=1246 that shows the Bosch plugs when they'd been removed. Some of them had carbon buildups so bad that it was shorting the centre electrode directly to earth!
