OK folks, here is an economical place to order the NGK BPR 5 ES:

http://www.race-mart.com/items/products/ngk/NGKBPR5ESSOLID-detail.htm

Their phone number is 888-286-9797 and I talked to Paul there.  Be sure 
to specify the "solid top", not the threaded top.  They sell them at 
only $1.65 apiece, but you have to buy them in a 10 pack and there is a 
$25.00 minimum order.  So you end up with 20 plugs for $33.00 + shipping 
- not bad.

And I'll pass along the following commentary about the NGK BPR 5 ES from 
someone who gets seriously into this sort of thing -------

Hi Keith,
The BR5ES (BPR5ES for resistor plugs) are one heat range colder than 
NGK's catalog recommendations, but I have no trouble with any fouling or 
misfiring in either my early Hemi or LA-engined vehicles.  The slightly 
colder heat range can help eliminate detonation problems in hot weather 
with today's fuels.  The rule of thumb I learned on heat range has 
always been to err on the side of a colder plug if drivability and plug 
fouling are not a problem. I've used this general rule for race engines 
in hydroplanes and race cars as well as vintage cars, with good 
success.  Now the caveat:  Lisa and I put a lot of miles on our various 
vintage cars (occasionally at extended high speed!); they never see 
service just loading and loading from a trailer. These cars virtually 
always go through a full heat cycle every time they are started.  
So...if a customer's car is used primarily in display and low speed 
cruising, a hotter plug might be necessary to get a good, clean burn. 
Also, a car that has a tired engine and suffers from excessive oil 
consumption will require a hotter plug.
