This spark plug fits GAZ Series vehicles and restores crisp, reliable ignition on classic carbureted engines. Supplied per piece, it’s the period-correct M12U type specified in factory catalogs and a direct replacement for tired or fouled plugs.
Why choose this spark plug?
Fresh, correct-spec plugs improve cold starts, stabilize idle quality, and reduce misfires under load. Using the proper seat and reach protects cylinder-head threads and ensures a gas-tight seal. If you notice hard starting, sooty deposits, or hesitation, renewing the plugs is a fast, cost-effective fix.

Installation tips:
Work on a cold engine. Clean the plug seats, start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, and torque to your engine manual’s value for gasketed plugs. Recheck after the first heat cycles. Set the electrode gap to the specification in your vehicle manual.
When to replace / Why upgrade
Replace if the insulator is cracked, electrodes are rounded, or the engine misfires despite healthy leads and timing. New M12U plugs help restore smooth idle, better throttle response, and reliable cold starts.
