Default Correct spark plugs for au xr8

Im buying some MSD leads and coilpacks for my AU.
Does anyone know what the correct code for the sparkplugs are?

I was under the impression that it was : BPR6EFS-13...... But someone else told me that it was BPR5EFS-13..... Anyone know which is correct?

Cheers

Either one is ok, No.5 is the stock heat range, the no.6 range plug is one range colder. Ford went with the hotter plugs to get a complete burn at idle and meet emission targets. But this contributes to pinging on some cars. I have been running the no.6 plugs for 9 yrs now as this was the advice I got from Michael at ICE ignition.

Only lists TR55IX Iridiums.

I run BPR6EFS13 - same as the last Holden 308 EFI.

Any hints on getting plug five out safely with 4001s?

Cheers,

Use spark plug socket with a shifter on the end instead of the ratchet handle.
