Have you seen what the plugs look like??? You can' t set the gap on them. Better burn with coppper? Definetly old wives tale. In s/c there ar still platnum but a colder plug not copper. i just insatlled a s/c on mine. Leave the orignal in there they are perfect fro the application.JTGrant said:Correct me if I am wrong, but the plugs in our cars are plat. and have that wierd ground strap. I would like to get a copper electrode and have a normal plug so I can change the gap. I hate plat plugs yes, they last longer but you get a better burn with copper plugs. I do not mind changing plugs every 10k. What other plugs(non-plat) run well in our engines? I was thinking of starting at .060 gap. Suggestions?

JTGrant said:no not an old wives tale, when a copper plug lights it actually breaks off small particles from the electrode, thus giving you a better burn.
did I say that the electrode was copper NO I DID NOTGOLDENPONY said:Do you realize that a so called "copper" plug has iron electrodes? Copper electrodes wouldn't last 50 miles. The only copper is the core of the plug which never sees the combustion chamber. The people that down platinum plugs are a left over from the old 88 cent Champion plug days, they believe anything new must be bad for performance and that's just not true. These are the same people that say they'd rather have a "good old 4-barrel" instead of that new fangled fuel injection. Ford has some very high paid engineers designing these modern engines and I believe what they say.
