Spark Plug DCPR8E Options?

[MTHancock]

I have a 2006 Wake that calls for NGK DCPR8E plugs, but the ones I bought have a "plug in" top, rather than threads, which connect to the coils. The plug in tops don't work with my coils.

Should I change coils, or could someone steer me to plugs that can replace the specified but have threads instead of plug-in tops?

What I bought (DCPR8E)

What I need.

Is the DPR8EA-9 (pictured as "What I need") a suitable replacement for the NGK DCPR8E?

Thanks in advance!

The tip on the end unscrews off. Loosen with a pliers, remove it and you will see the threads.

Only the p/n 4339 NGKs have the removable tip. They also make one that is not removable in the DCPR8E which will not work.

Yes, make sure you buy NGK 4339 part number and you can unscrew the tips to reveal threads. I go to O’Reillys and about $3 something per plug.

Thanks! Before I posted the original question I thought the tip may unscrew and tried it on the P/N 4179. Needless to say, it did not go well!

Has anyone tried the Iridium equivalent DPR8EIX. Don’t know if there is a threaded top p/n…
