I am going to put new spark plugs and spark plug wires in my 88 Mustang 5.0. I all ready picked out the plug wires, but not the plugs. I was wondering what kind of plugs to get. I just want some good performance plugs. Also I am thinking about doing a coil. Are coils worth it? What would you guys sugest for plugs and a coil.

Best performance plugs for stock 5.0???


Stock motorcraft or Autolite 25's.

I'm not kidding. 5.0's respond well to these plugs. Stay away from platnium.

An aftermarket coil isn't really needed. If yours is ok i wouldn't worry about it. If it ever dies then upgrade.

The stock ignition on a 5.0 Mustang is very capable. Until you get into some serious mods, you don't need to touch it much.
