This package includes four NGK LKAR7C-9 standard nickel spark plugs for engines specifically requiring NGK stock number 93961. Each resistor-type plug features a solid copper core, nickel-alloy electrodes, a projected insulator design, and a factory gap of approximately 0.9 mm.
LKAR7C-9 is primarily associated with select Mercury Marine outboard and racing-engine applications. NGK does not currently associate this plug with a specific automotive application, so buyers should verify the required spark-plug number using the engine manufacturer’s service information before ordering.

Application Information
Use only in engines that specifically call for NGK LKAR7C-9, stock number 93961, or a confirmed equivalent manufacturer number. This plug is commonly cataloged for select Mercury Marine outboard and racing-engine applications, including certain 4.6L V8 configurations.
Known Mercury applications may include select 250R, 300R, 450R, and 500R engines. Application varies by engine model, production date, calibration, and serial number. Confirm the required plug number directly from the Mercury service manual, parts catalog, or existing spark plug before ordering.
Package quantity notice: This listing contains four spark plugs. A V6 engine typically requires six plugs, while a V8 engine typically requires eight. Purchase two sets if eight LKAR7C-9 plugs are required. This four-plug set may also service a four-cylinder engine only when that engine specifically requires LKAR7C-9.
