Proper Spark Plugs for my 850 850 1996

I have an 850 GLT non-turbo. The owners manual specifies the use of Volvo spark plugs but I have also checked with Bosch and they specify FR7DC. When I compared them to the Volvo plugs they were a bit longer in length and had a single electrode rathter than the triode on the Volvo plug. Can anyone advise me if the Bosch plugs are o.k. to use instead of the Volvo triode plugs... I am concerned about their length more than I am about the single electrode configuration.

Thanks for any and all advice!

    The OEM plugs last for at least 40K miles, the Bosh last around 15K. Spend a little extra now and sleep easier.

    The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are a 95 854T and a 98 V70R :)

    I just did a tune up on my 1995 non-turbo wagon and pulled the bosch plugs out and replaced them with the Volvo triodes.

    running great.
