Where to buy MR1 spark plugs?

[96Pirate]

Anyone know where I can buy plugs in the Raleigh NC area?

I went to Advanced Auto and Autozone and neither stocked the NGK cr9eb plugs. They had cross referenced and came back with a 4 digit number but I wasn't sure if these were the same. I didn't write down the number but I believe it began with a 4. Anyone know if these will work or where I can find the cr9eb?

These were the only 2 stores I was able to get to over the weekend. Too much time on the lake

@Julian, @justason
Thanks

I've purchased them from advanced auto parts before (roxboro nc). i did exhaust their inventory so maybe its not that common?.

now I buy in bulk from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F0M8M2...olid=Q1RSMFFN0RMG&coliid=I3N4WLV0ASXYYS&psc=1

oil filters, lube, grease, ring free...its ALL AMAZON

Thanks @justason

Maybe I will get an order in. Amazon does surprise me with the speed of their shipping most times.

I have been floating around for a couple months and have not has spares in the boat so was looking somewhere local to get some before my weekend cruises this past weekend. I wasn't too concerned initially because it was serviced before I bought it this year. Just trying to get some of those things taken care of though.

I have bought them from O'Reilly's Auto Parts. They don't stock them in the store, but you can have them get them from their warehouse by the next day. Last time I got them, they were around $3.80 each I think.

I get mine from O'Reilly's here in the Columbia, SC area and they always have plenty in stock. They say they sell a lot of these plugs but mainly to PWC'ers.

I agree with auto parts stores. You may also want to call a local West Marine store. Not the cheapest at $5.59 but if you need them quick...I usually also order spark plugs & oil filters each season from Amazon. I'll double up on plugs or filters to make the free shipping minimum.

Thanks. Not sure if I have an O'Reilly's around here but will check. I do have a local West Marine so I can check there as well.

I've always been able to get them (in Stock) from Advance Auto Parts on Durant Road in Raleigh. Never had them not be in stock, but I assume if you buy online and they aren't in stock, they'll get them in within 24 hours (from another store)....

I have bought from Advanced Auto Parts for the last two years. Ordered them online and picked up in store this year.

It helps to have the NGK 4 digit number when you order, easily found on the NGK website. Not too many places use the actual plug number anymore - its greek to many. Cam

 

[96Pirate]

That might explain it then @KXCam22 They cross referenced it with the 4 digit number and they had those. I just wasn't sure if they were the correct ones or not, so I passed. I will try the website to see if the number looks familiar.

I may just order now from Amazon since I will not be using the boat this weekend.

Thanks

I just checked the NGK site and the CR9EB crosses to 6955. This is the regular plug, not the iridium.

I don't recall that being the number they gave me but perhaps that was their own part number.

Advance Auto, let them order them in. Buy online, use coupon code, pick up in store, PROFIT!

Napa had them. But Amazon.com is cheaper

For the Canadians out there, I bought 12 CR9EB for $3.59 a piece at ROYAL DISTRIBUTING.

 

[DawgDaze]

We have auto zone out here and I found I can get them through them at 9,00 per plug but the previous owner had an extra set that he gave us with many other necessary supplies. What a nice guy

 

[txav8r]

You can get them much cheaper than that Danny, look around. I know O'Reilly's is where I get them, and they have sister stores in your area. I am not sure the name, but I will check it out, because I know they should be under $4 a plug. I just paid $7 to ship back the wrong plugs I got when I bought the new boat...so I can get you some if needed too and send them for probably $10 and that is still going to be a big savings. @DawgDaze

 

[txav8r]

Here you go @DawgDaze ... call them, you want the NGKCR9EB , they will reference it to their number and it will be in the $4 range or less I am guessing per plug.
