which spark plugs should I buy
Time for new plugs, i read some things on here but then I went to sparkplugs.com and saw a lot of different ones which is the best or if you dont feel like looking at the link which should I buy. I do weekend drag racing with the car and not much more. I dont drive the car everyday.

RE: which spark plugs should I buy
what year is your car? I was about to run NGKs on my windsor 00 too but it had more threads.. a lot more threads thanthe head and a lot more threads than the old plug had. I took it the heck back and got some autolites, i wasn't risking a blow out.
I think the newer stangs 01.5+ have more threads on their heads though.

NGK TR6 if you are FI.
Forget the exotic plugs.

Ford went to the plug with more threads to help prevent blowout.

I bellieve the 'F' means full length thread.

More threads may be better on a head that HAS more threads-i just did not feel comfy putting those NGKs in.
The NGK had 300% more thread than the autolites! i just don't feel they belong on a 99-00
