Which spark plugs?
I have a '90 TBI engine in my 79 K10--edelbrock manifold and 1406 carb. Should I buy plugs for a 1979 5.7l engine or for a 1990 5.7l????????

Since you have a HEI I would buy the 79. Are they pregapped?

I disagree G. I would get for the 90 since the spark plugs may be different for the different heads.

Physically speaking, either plugs will work but I think I will go with the ones for the '79 because I think the ignition system (HEI) would be a more relevant factor than the newer heads--I don't think there's too much difference in the heads.
