All V-6 60 degree (looper) carb engines use the same plug. The only other plugs listed are for 90 degree (crossflow) engines. The Faststrike/Intruder models are good engines

The only difference between 60 degree loopers is paint ,decals and model name. Crossflows are totally different from mechanical standpoint
