Champion L77JC4. Or QL77JC4. "Q" simply means it has an inductive radio suppressor built in.

You want to use the plugs designed for the engine, the ones F R mentioned.

The super quad 4 electrode plugs are for 4 stroke engines and I really doubt you would see any difference or it would run worse.

Remember that ( apart from few modern re-badged engines) Champion plugs are the only ones recommended for Johnsons and Evinrudes .

Be aware that resistor plugs are not suitable for OMC CD ignition systems. A fact often not appreciated in showrooms or reflected in equivalent or applications lists for other brands of plug. If suppressed plugs are required they must be inductively suppressed ones. ... The Champion "Q" series plugs are specifically aimed at this use.
The inductively suppressed plugs are also recommended for engines with VRO/OMS.

A question here will always lead you to the latest recommendations.
