sparkplugs are just part of the new car tune up ritual for me. mods are in the sig. and sparkplugs might be part of my missing/detonation/hesitation/cold start problems

give me your suggestions on some plugs

thanks.
derek

*edit*
also. if any of this matters..
just put in two new bosch o2 sensors.
and new cap/rotor.

and theres ford 9mm? sparkplug wires
and some hot aftermarket ignition coil
distributor looks stock to me

Autolites or Motorcraft, same thing...

If you want better spark, upgrade your ignition, not your plugs...

Sounds good, I would recomend an MSD-6A, or 6AL if you are using boost

nope keeping it N/A for a good while.. possibly. POSSIBLY getting 100 shot if anything. which ill probably rarely to never use. maybe at the track sometimes.
