Not champions not autolights both not good enough. NGK try them and you will forget all about the rest [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm a diesel mechanic so spark plugs aren't really my thing haha [Reply]  [No Email]

I keep couple boxes around really dont know why never had one to fail in my opion they are the only kind for the fuel and compression that we all run,kinda like the 13-16 nut instead of the 7-8 like all the rest have also. I would use them if they were 50.00 bucks each. [Reply]  [No Email]

Is a different and troublesome animal than the mostly reliable plain non resistor Champion. That said and even though I'm not a Ford fan per say. But I do keep Autolite 3116, 216 and 437 plugs on hand. Solid core plug wires too. [Reply]  [No Email]

Are more troublesome that a plain non resistor plug of any brand. [Reply]  [No Email]

The hottest plug that doesn't cause detonation is whats desired. Old Chiltons manuals have nice pictures of plugs describing how to 'read' the plugs & determine proper mixture & plug heat range. Good luck! [Reply]  [No Email]
