Re: Time to replace spark plugs ??

I usually go with the Autolite Iridium tips, but last year gave the the NGK Iridiums a try and they seem just fine, no noticeable difference. The iridium give the spark plug a real long life, copper plugs don't last very long. I have tried the e3 plugs and I instantly had random misfires, took them back to the parts store and replaced them with the Autolite Iridium and never looked back.

Re: Time to replace spark plugs ??

If you make power, copper NGK's @ 1.79, change 'em every season and leave the rest of that stuff in the parts bin.

For my daily stuff, 'Delco Iridiums (or whatever they call their OE-spec plug) or the NGK Iridiums.
