I Have Trickflow Heads And They Give 4 Recommended Plugs, And They Are Cheap ****ty Plugs. Would It Be Ok To Put My Old Plugs On Them, Bosh, The Ones With 4 Prongs?

if you searched for the word plugs you would have found 5 or 6 posts on this topic... that aside (i'm not one to complain all the time)

Use copper! Platiumn has a higher flow resistivity and your old car needs the least amount of resistance possible... Run what the head manufacture recomends or run autolites.

you might find that many people on here prefer those plugs you called cheap (and dont like the multi-pronged plugs). I say this because you might want to post what plugs are recommended, rather than characterize them - we might be able to help more.

good luck and enjoy the new combo!

Um, you have it completely wrong.

The 4-prong Bosch plugs are the ****ty plugs, and those cheap plugs (Probably motorcraft/autolites) are really the best plugs to use. Platnium sucks as a conductor of electricity and the 4-prong design shields the spark from the air/fuel mixture costing you a few HP. Bosch just does a good job marketing the plug so you *think* they really are the best plugs out there.

And no i'm not kidding. Throw those Bosch Platniums in the trash. A cheap 0.99 cent copper plug really is the best to run.

Which brands do Trickflow recommend??
