Replacement spark plugs for �66 L79: What went wrong?

[Gary B.]

After reading thru the archives for recommendations for a modern day replacement for the AC spark plugs for my ‘66 L79, and wanting a slightly hotter plug than the original AC 44, I settled on Denso W14-U plugs. I ordered some thru Amazon and when they arrived, the first thing I noticed is that they came in boxes with Bosch featured prominently. But the sticker on each box says “Denso (6008) W14 - U”. So, I thought I was good to go. But when I opened a box I found a plug that can’t be right, as can be seen in the last photo. The plugs says Bosch R6 on them. Anyone know what went wrong with my plan? Did I do something bone-headed? Is the Denso W14-U the wrong number?

Yeah - I wonder sometimes since Amazon makes returns so easy, if the product always get put back in the original packaging, etc for resale...

No.

I twice received incorrect items that did not match the packaging.
One was used spark plugs, ironically.
