I replaced my wires, and now want to replace the plugs but I'm not sure what to look for, at all..</P>


Ive got Fireball ignition, coil, and Frpp wires. What should I look for in a spark plug?</P><edited><editID>Milky</editID><editDate>38007.1090277778</editDate></edited>

a spark plug is a spark plug pretty much as long as you get the size right.

if you go with the nitrous than using a bosch should not be used..a good autolite is cool as well as a split fire...I'm not fond of those wires as they have to much resist in them well over 150ohms per foot

AUTOLITES!</P>


I use autolites and theyre great!To clear up something not all plugs are the same.You have different heat ranges that need to be adressed.</P>


I think bosch suck ***!Theyre over rated and over priced.I would go with autolites fords used them forever and ever.</P>

bosch..have there place in a stock car..the good thing is they heat up faster, plat. is a great conductor. and should never be put in a s/c,turbo or nitrous engine as there prone to blow out the spark..autolites,champion,splitfire,accel are all good plugs.. plug wires I think are more important you want the lowest ohm resist for you application..fms wires are just terrible and they burn easy..
