Hey guys, I found these on ebay,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PLATINUM-SPARK-PLUGS-LOTS-OF-6-FITS-00-TO-04-GM-GMC_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33693QQitemZ7962856 165QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
and was wondering if they'd work for a 95 Jimmy 4.3 V6 I know the post says for 2000 to 2004 4.3's, but why wouldnt they work in a 1995? If not, what ones should I use, Thanks for the input. Also, I know Delco plats are the best plug to use, What about wires, I know AC Delco is the way to go, but would it be wise to save a little money... Is there anything out there that will do just as good for less than 50 bux (yes, the Delco set I need is $50.00 at autozone) Delco Platinum plugs also cost 9 bux each at autozone, which is why I'm trying ebay. Whats your take? Thankyou

Not made for a 1995.
Use standard AC Delco plugs or AC Delco Rapidfire #1

I use the cheap wires made in China (Duralast from Autozone). I honestly do not notice any difference. They conduct a spark as far as I can tell.

What is so special about walker? Just an OEM replacement.

funny how a thread about Jimmy plug wires turned into a thread about walker exhaust. Who cares about what who has (or doesnt have). Its none of my (or anyone elses) business.

just to keep updated I got a set of delco platinum plugs, 41-803 and a set of delco wires, and plan on doing a tuneup on wednesday. Also plan on doing fuel filter, Its got a k&n air filter already, clean the throttle plates, rotate and balence tires. I will let you guys know how it runs after everything is done. The plugs and wires are all origional still, and its a 1995 with 120,000 miles, so ac delco plugs and wires can hold up pretty good. But I think its time. I'll let you know.

I am currently using Taylor Spiro Pro Custom Spark Plug Wires. I've had them for over a year now, they're pretty good. By the way, my 96 Jimmy is actually saving me money and miles after switching to the AC Delco Platinums, AC Delco Cap & Rotor and K & N Air filter.

wow, ok, thanks. On to the post, today was tune up day, all in all, pretty straight forward, the 95 jimmy still had origional plugs and wires in it. I replaced the stock delco cr43tsm with 41-803 delco plats. replaced wires, and fuel filter. The thing runs like a champ. I also balenced tires, and noticed that the sway bar end pin was broken. Not good, so thats next on the agenda. But yes, the AC delco platinum 41-803 plugs worked great for my 1995 jimmy with the 4.3 V6. Just to answer any questions.

You have bought the right plugs and wires..I had a 97 Jimmy and I used Autozone plug wires and it misfired and hesitated for 2+ months..Well good luck with your tune up and the Jimmy...
