Should I stick with the recommended Bosch spark plugs?
Or are there significant benefits from the E3 ones?

I stick with Bosch, Bosch super plus---anything copper or improved copper.
Copper has a specific resistance important to firing with our ignition systems. Very important = benefit.
Not what you asked about E3, just an opinion.

So I bought some bosch copper plus spark plugs, part number 7995. They wouldn't fit on the lead ends to the bosch wires...
I just bought some autolite platinum ones, good idea? bad idea? I haven't put them in yet.

Unscrew the caps on the ends of the plugs or replace the wires with universal ones as mentioned on 924.org

 - Or upgrade to thicker wires ... say 8ms thick.
