I have run the gamut on spark plugs in my 75. I finally ended up using Champion RV17YC6 Copper plugs. They work great and haven't fouled out like everything else. IMO, Taylor plug wires are very good with our motors. I am sure you will get many different opinions. The Coppers were even better than the Platinums. Part number may be different for the 86 motor.

Good luck and share some pics.

I like the standard Delco plugs, I think they're either R44TS or R45TS.

I quite like Mallory leads but I haven't had much to compare them to.
