They should be fine. I think the 764's replaced the 104's.

You could also use Motorcraft SP-493's.

Autolite makes the plugs for motorcraft, so they are the same plug but the motorcrafts are tighter specs. I prefer motorcraft over Autolite

make sure you torque them correctly, and again in a few hundred miles or so. i guess i skipped one on the second pass of torqueing and ended up blowing it out of my head. costs a pretty penny to fix...

40th GT has it in the correct range, i heard it was 13 ft. lbs.to be exact, and do it while the motor is cold. be sure to re-torque them soon after.

Just wanted to ask a related question. I'm changing my sparkies today and the first one I pulled out wasn't too bad except the fact that it has a small amount of oil deposit on the base of the plug. What does this usually mean? Could it be the PCV value or something? I would be surprised if it was some sort of seal leaking on my engine at 81k miles. Thanks,

Kirk
