Ngk coppers part number 4644.

Engine or harness doesn't really matter.
Copper? I was thinking I'd see platinum or something haha. Good to know. Any reason why?

Off the spark plug material available, Copper is the best electrical conductor for spark plugs. They also move heat fast.

Iridium, any other *ium based plugs are a waste of $.

The K.I.S.S does apply to these cars ;)

In my experience I find that Iridium's and Double Platinum plugs are standard equipment on vehicle's where the intake plenum needs to be removed in order to service them. We're talking 3+ hours book time. So the manufacturers use these expensive plugs, (NGK Lasers anyone?), because they last an average of 90k-120k miles. Not because they are good conductors. For the most part, our plugs are relatively easy to get to. Very easy if you have coil on plugs and an FFIM. Either way, go with coppers.
