Better than that plug is the Bosch quad tip platinum, #4477. The "D" series
plug is really too long and can add pre-ignition and broken insulator
issues. The 4477 is closer to the "C" tip length and works fine even though
the books do not list it for the Vanagon application. I miss the days of the
spark plug number actually telling me what the plug is.

Yeah, if you can find W7DTC or WR7DTC.  Bosch has discontinued and supered
it to the "stock" plug W7CC.  Getting hard to find - grab 'em when ya find
'em!

I've been using the NGK equivalent, BP6ET for the past 6 months with very
good results.  Again, this style of plug comes "pre gapped" because of the
tri-electrode design.
