I always go with the 32C's and stock wires on the SVo everything else gets spit out.

You can use ANY stock style plug in your car...they will all run the same...only the turbo cars are picky about plugs...

I realized your car is a NA after Stinger pointed out. But The plugs are available at autozone, second choice for me is always Bosch. Any wire should work though. i use 34 gap some use more and some use less.


Good Luck

MOTORCRAFT MOTORCRAFT MOTORCRAFT you can't go wrong with a MOTORCRAFT part. N/A or Turbo, if you plan to swap in the future, well the MOTORCRAFT part is right for you.

Autolite plain copper spark plugs work good and are the specified replacement. Maybe other plugs would work well, I know the Bosch platinums increase power and fuel mileage UNTIL they foul, but Autolites are what I use.

I tried Autolite spark plug wires and they are probably the best you will find for this application. Lifetime warranty too.

Here is a thought..since the driver's side plugs are so hard to get to, put platinums in that side and regular coppers on the exhaust side...then you won't ever have to change the driver's side again.

unless the car burns oil in which case they foul after 3000 miles and the engine runs like crap.

...probably would not matter on a DP head. You just need something to plug the extra holes that some homo accidentially poked in that head.
