Sparkplugs
I need to replace the sparkplugs in my formula and wanted to ask what you guys recommend. My wires and distrubitor are all new (<1 year) so that should be ok. Thanks.

Re: Sparkplugs
Bosch platinum plugs...foul out in a few hundred miles
Champion...weak ceramic insulators that break easily
Autolite....Ford plugs in a Chevy engine??? No way.
Splitfire....snake oil, no benefit or gains just lots of $$
AC-Delco plain resistor plugs..cheap and what the mfg recommends.

Re: Sparkplugs
i use NGK coppers.. works fine for me, its cheaper and easier to get the ACdelcos for me..so i gues sif you can get those might as well.. but NGK coppers dont foul and so far have been great. (a year or so..)

Re: Sparkplugs
Anyone have an opinion on these? Kinda expensive but the write up review on them was good.

Re: Sparkplugs
never tried them..i would rather trust something that is proven, but if you want, you should try em, and then after a few months, try different plugs.see if you can feel a difference.
