Quick spark plug question

[Dardy]

I bought the autolite platinum 764 plugs and i noticed that ford used two different types of plugs on that year will this matter with the new plugs?

I don't think it does! Make sure you double check the gap and all that!

cool i hope not i set the plugs to .54 thanks

Ohhh...don't gap Platnum plugs...they are already pre gapped and you could damage the electrodes if you do gap them.

oops too late lol

If thats true why doesnt auto lite put that on the box instead of gap before installing?

I wondered that myself. My mechanic told be about the gapping thing and I've heard a few other mentions about it too. Just thought I'd pass it along. To be honest I did gap mine and never had any problems.

i think and hope thats just a rumor because on all my cars i have ran autolite platinum and i have never had any problems thanks for the info though

I used the Autolite plugs and hated them immensly, then swithed to NGK Iridium, those sucked as well. My motor likes the double platinum Ford plugs since I run naturally aspirated. They have been the best thus far.

that's odd. my car performs better with the autolite 764's... Maybe it was just because they were new..?
