I need new Plugs!

[MustangMatt96GT]

Just wondering what brand and type of plugs you suggest for my car! I have to go buy some because I had coolant in my plug holes, so just wondering and wat gap do you suggest? Thanks!!

I always used autolites in my 97gt

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

I think I am going to go with NGK TR55s

 

[scarface]

thats an expensive plug. these engines respond well to copper plugs.

 

[Fryrice]

NGK or Autolites IMO .Go with the copper and gap em at .54

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

Yeah the NGK TR55 is copper or at least I think it is!

Well the NGK TR-55s are the same price as thes autolites I bought. I got Autolite 764s because they were the only plug that had the same length thread! Owel! Now I cant seem to get them to gap ethier!!

NGK TR-55 are really nice plugs. I used to run them but now I've had to switch to NGK TR-6 for my blower. TR-55 run close to $8 a plug. I sold a brand new set on ebay for $4 a plug plus shipping. You get what you pay for. Sort of... :bunny3:

you must not be doing it right? I have no problems gapping autolites

NGK's are pre-gapped. But it's not hard to gap a plug. Open the gap just a bit and then close it down on the correct gap. :dunno:

Never trust the gap on a pregapped plug, just not a good choice....

I never do and always check them and they're right on the money...! O0

NGK is a very good plug.

+2 .Ive bought a few packs and they were everywhere between .50 - .62 or some shit. Always double check.

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

Yeah well why were the TR-55s threads like a half and inch more than the autolight 764s that came out of my car? If I would have know for sure that my coil pack wires would have still reached the plugs when the plugs are in all the way I would have gone that route!

Got to ask why do u have coolent in the plug holes??? Crack Intake?

How do you gap plugs that have four little arms on them?? Just curious, I got the Denso Iridium Plugs and my car runs awesome

You have to use feeler wires and needle nose pliers. Ididium plugs are great, stock. Every modualr engine I have built has run better with Autolite or Motorcraft coppers, I was able to run .065 gap with my msd DIS4 and packs with 0 issues. Platnum and Iridium both made less power on my personal combos, however I have one friend that runs them flawlessly on semi stock engine.
