Here you go. www.rockauto.com. Champion 7989 series. Drill down to 2007 -> mustang GT -> ignition and then spark plugs.

The Champion's are traditional one piece plugs and are an excellent product. You don't have to worry about the POS Motorcraft ones coming apart either. I've had mine in since early spring and my Mustang runs great with them.

Plug Nightmare
Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt. I was one of the first to wade into this question. I followed the TSB TO THE LETTER, even let it soak longer than it said. The second plug snapped off. I had the car trucked to the dealer where they proceded to break 5 more. I had 38K miles on the clock. I won't bore you with the details, but I had a huge repair bill, but ended up getting a 100% refund.
I've had the Champions in for 10K+ miles without a single complaint. You'll see a few posts saying "Champions won't run in Fords" or, "Champions are junk" to which I say - installer error. My car runs better than it ever has.
Every now and then I still see a post where the person still thinks this is all a myth, that it hardly ever happens. To these people, I say "It has happened before, it will happen again".
I sincerely hope somebody, somewhere, brings a class action suit over this. Ford needs to bleed.
I sleep better knowing my one piece Champions are on the job.

I bought the extraction tool when my uncle broke a plug in his F150. I figured I might need it in the future, but luckily, I didn't have any problems with the plugs in my car. However, once the word got out that I had the tool, people started coming out of the woodwork with broken plugs. It seemed like every week or so someone would call and say, "Hey, I heard you got that tool..." Ford definitely needs to address this issue.

Try Photobucket.com
Pretty easy and I've lost more brain cells than I've generated.
Upload your pics there. Copy and Paste the "IMG" code. After pasteing it to your post, you GOTTA go back and change the upper case IMG at the begining and end of the link to lower case "img". I don't know what makes it work. It's magic.
