My beloved NGK B7ES-1111 has been discontinued! There are plenty of replacements so I'm looking for some input. I see Autolite and Champion makes a replacement as well as about 20 other manufactures! These are for use in a supercharged motor. Any input would be great.
Thanks Joe

Joe check on Ebay there's going to be a lot of plugs still available in the market for years to come. With your supercharged combination Champion and Autolite will be a big let down compared to the NGK .

Thanks Fordy, I should've mentioned how expensive they've gotten also!

jrvariel48 · 04-06-2022, 04:41 PM

Thanks Ronnie. Your recommendation is the reason I use the NKG plugs in the first place!
I'll tough out the cost. At this point it's a drop in the bucket!!

I see NGK also makes the B7ES in a 2311 number. The only difference I see in the specs is the gap is .043" which I can adjust and also a solid terminal.
Can anyone confirm this!!??

Joe it looks like that's the plug you want as you wrote just adjust the gap.

NAPA shows that NGK 1111 has been superseded NGK 5122

jrvariel48 · 04-07-2022, 12:42 PM

Thanks uncle. Those are resistor style plugs. I don't know if they'll be good for my set-up.
Anyone want to chime in??

Ronnieroadster · 04-07-2022, 02:59 PM

Joe the resistor plug should work fine since your running a 12 volt system and a modern style distributer. Six volt and magneto ignition's the plug would not work well at all.
