platinum plugs and iradiums..or whatever they are called are junk.. just get a plain resistor type plug like a autolite or motorcraft.. i perfer motorcraft myself. our 5.0's dont need these special kind of plugs. just waisting youre money.

Say what you want about I-R-I-D-I-U-M plugs but there NOT junk!!! I don't put JUNK on my mustang.[:@] It may be a waste of money for YOU but it's definetly not for me. My 5.0 only gets the best parts(in my opinion)that are out there. Don't get me wrong you may not think too highly of the "special" plugs but basically what it sounds like your saying is that anyones mustang that has platinum or iridium plugs are junk. Besides I wasn't telling him to go out and buy them ,I was just putting my $.02 worth in
