spark plugs for 96-98 4v?

[95gtdrop]

just picked up my 97 cobra, and was about to change all the plugs and wires. on all of my past stangs ive always used motorcraft/autolite plugs.
stick with OEM or does anyone have any special plug they use/like? and why ?

OEM is the best way to go fwiw.

 

[95gtdrop]

Ok I figured. I'm new to the 4v. So thought I'd ask
just the old basic copper?

 

[RockstarMentality]

I have a set of OEM wires. PM if interested

 

[95gtdrop]

Just ordered some ford racing ones. Thanks though. Btw clean crystal white stang man

Old pic, but thanks

just the simple copper Autolite 764's are still the best. Don't waste your money on any more expensive stuff.

Hmm I just bought some OEM motorcraft plugs, copper I believe for $5 a piece <--- ouch! lol.

 

[95gtdrop]

the autolites are like 2 something each, and the same plug with the motorcraft name on it is 4.99 each! WTF?!!!

I run the autolite 764 coppers and change them once a year, check the gap every few months, never had any issues.

I didn't know the copes worked in the 4v. I've always used the coppers in my 5.0s

Oem or auto lites all day. Only exception is if you wanna spring for the 8 dollar ngk iridiums. That's the only highdollar plug I'd say would be a benefit. We run them in high rpm or high boost applications due to increased cylinder pressures.

I had Platinum plugs in my 97 and swaped them out with OEM copper plugs. The car fell flat on its face. Sprung for some new Platinum plugs and she woke back up. Get platinum plugs, screw copper.

NGK TR55GP is all i run. Platinum style and doesnt break the bank also burns colder. I would definitely stick to a platinum if anything though, iridium plugs run way to hot. Its a part #3403 at your local parts store.

When I first got my 4v cobra it had the E3 plugs and missed and farted like a mofo, so I installed motorcraft and it was a night and day difference

I run ngk tr6 plugs, but then again I run a kenne bell and meth inj... so I guess, my answer can't help you one bit, I just wanted to contribute... lol!

Plugs.. Get the autolite double platinums.. For wires.. FRPP 9mm wires are the best on the market..

OEM will be fine on a street car... once you get into heavy performance, (boost, spray, High compression) you might want to start looking into a different plug (based on application)

Taylor wires were pretty much epic on my old 2v. *if* you go aftermarket, i highly suggest them.

 

[95gtdrop]

Yeah the coppers are working great. The PO had platinum plugs still ran fine with them. Not much difference in anything ( throttle response, mpg, hp,) that I've noticed yet

Stick with OEM's until you start getting into power adders. Others will just cause unneeded trouble.
