IMO bosch plugs suck, in our shop we've had a LOT of cars come in with misses and we swapped out the plugs for motorcrafts or NGK's and have cured the problem. I love NGK's.

yeah go get the most expensive platinum coated bling bling spark plug you can find. make sure it has like 15 electrodes on it, cause the more the better right? it must work great since one plug is like 20 bucks right?


just get some autolites or ngks.

autolite man. whats the correct spacing for a basically stock motor? cuz they come at 35 but i dont think this is correct for the 5.0. and what would change if the spacing was off?
