You need a bpr6hsa per the manual. The Autolite 4123 is a direct replacement for that plug. I would return the plug you got and get either a new bpr6hsa or a 4123 autolite.

Greetings:

Could be that Autolite is simply too cold for your setup. Otherwise something like a gummy air filter element may be blocking the free flow of air, making for a very rich mixture and a plug darkened by cold operating temperatures in the chamber and incomplete combustion.

I agree, stick with the NGK, tried tested and true. We know for sure its the right part for the job. Too cold a plug will be a royal pain, you will be replacing plugs all the time.
