Q: A6G A6GC plug replacement

asked by on September 13, 2016

The original plugs in my car are Champion A6G that I can’t find anywhere on the Internet. So I'm going to use Champion A6GC which say they are a direct replacement for the A6G. But I'm a little worried about putting these in my car. So I wanted to ask you what you thought. Will this plugs work as well as the originals? Am I worried about nothing?
