Detailed Product Description

The NGK Iridium IX Spark Plug 7803 (part number Dpr7eix-9) features a fine iridium tip on the center electrode, which provides a stable and efficient spark while resisting wear over time. The copper core center electrode enhances electrical conductivity, contributing to improved ignition and combustion efficiency. The ground electrode is constructed with a nickel core and shaped with a taper cut tip, which helps to optimize spark exposure and reduce quenching effects. This spark plug has a standard ground configuration with a single ground electrode, a flat seat type, and a thread diameter of 12mm with a reach of .75 inches, making it compatible with a variety of vehicle engines requiring these specifications.

The electrical terminal uses a removable nut design, allowing for easier installation and replacement in tight engine compartments. The pre-gap size is set at .036 inches, ensuring the spark gap is optimized for ignition performance. With a manufacturer heat range of 7, this spark plug is suitable for engines that require moderate heat dissipation characteristics.
