If there's an auto parts shop close, try there but I've not had much luck anywhere but a bike shop. Any bike shop (except Harley) will probably do, as most stock a wide variety of plugs.
I would check the book first to be sure to get the right one (don't automatically assume that the one in there is correct).

You've just about got me stumped now. The only thing I have left is a real long shot.
I have seen cases where an arching plug wire or boot will only affect performance at (relatively) high RPM and under load. Do you have a garage or other VERY dark place?
Fire it up and LOOK for corona discharge around the plug and wire.
