What spark plug brand and part # do you like for your 5.0?

Is there a consensus on one that our engines like best overall?

Pretty much everyone runs Autolite copper plugs. A few people buy NGK plugs. They work about the same.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

NGK is all that I run in mine. Ran the auto lite plugs for years with no trouble, just like the NGK better now

N/A applications run Autolite copper not platinum. Cheap and hardly ever foul
Boosted I ran NGK
Certain Alum head manufacturers have their own recommendations

Avoid splitfire, E3, or Accel. All IMO are pure garbage.
