It's finally kinda warm out in England and it's time to get my cars tuned for the 2 weeks of summer. What type of wires and plugs should I put in? Cars are pretty much stock. Thanks in advance.

a sig is a beautiful thing. it lets us know things like whether or not you have stock heads or aftermarket alum heads, etc. it matters.

i have no probs with autolite 25's on stock heads (or 24's on an SN that has some detonation issues).

good luck.

Yeah the 3924's are for the aftermarket heads (AFR's, TW's, Eddy's, etc)...the Autolite 24's/25's are for the stock heads...I ran 25's when I had stock heads...

I would gap them in the lower .050's...
