autolite 25's will not give you spark knock. They are also one of the better plugs that you could have instaled.

Are you sure that you put them all in tight enough? Are you POSITIVE that you have the firing order correct?

did you check the GAP???? Even tho they all say they are "pre gapped" by being shaken around in the boxes it changes the gap.. I would take them back out and check every gap to make sure its right on before yoou make any assumptions..

Edit: My original statement was completely incorrect and I removed it to ensure that the information does not mislead anyone.

I would check with what Adder said, you mayhave acracked plug. Start the car in a dark area and check to see if you have spark where it should not be.
