Raise and support the front of the vehicle and remove the wheels. You can easily access all of the plugs through the wheel wells. A spark plug swivel socket, a ratchet and some extensions is all you'll need. Use AC Delco plugs ONLY!

Hey I have a quick question while we are on the topic of spark plugs. Old Master mentions "only" using AC Delco plugs.
My question is: the plugs that I get that are AC Delco, should I get a platinum, regular etc. If I get a regular, I am told to gap them .045. Is that the usual for the gapping?
What are the best plugs under the AC Delco lineup to get for a 92 4.3L vin W?
