Aloha 720 Owners:

Does anyone have a link to buy spark plugs for a 1985 Nissan 720 RWD Auto Reg Cab? I am interested to know what plugs others have used and where they bought them.

Also, I am going to start working on truck rust piece by piece. I have a tan truck. I plan to do it piece by piece over the next few months. Do you have any suggestions on enamel paint/primer I should use that most matches the stock paint? I would like to find something as similar to the original while it is a work in progress.

Mahalo,

Blake

The best plugs are going to be NGK, part numbers BPR5ES(Exhaust) & BPR6ES(Intake).

Mahalo! I also meant to write spark plug WIRES, too. Any suggestions there?

Any auto parts store will have those, they are a relatively common piece. Nothing special there, but I might recommend the higher-end options.

As far as matching the original paint, I don't know of any off-the-shelf paint that matches, but a paint store might be able to mix you some cans of paint that will directly match your truck
