Trent,

Get the original spark plugs (AC R45TS or R45TSX) and gap them at 0.035" (OEM specs). You'll be most satisfied with that. You could get Champion RV15Y64 plugs, but they are essentially the same with plated shells instead of plain steel (less rusting in place). Use anti-seize on the threads in either case.
