You can't do better than NGK as far as OEM replacements go. IF I can't use NGK, or I'm doing a tuneup on a pos like my van, and don't want to spend the money on NGK, I like to go with Belden Premiums from NAPA. I like the pimptastical blueness of the NGKs as well!

I won't use Autolites because they almost set my Pulsar on fire , and Bosches from Autozone didn't last long at all on that car either. The NGKs on there now are great! In a week I'll be getting a set of NGKs for my Max for Xmas, and I can dump off the ****ty ones that are on it

On an unrelated note, I'd like to ***** about something:
ARG!!! WIRESETS FOR A VG ARE TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

Copper is the only real conductor. Copper wires with 1k resistors gives 'perfect' ign. Problem free in VG30E. These resistors might be ? hard to find, use 5k as subsitute.

But... NGK has one wire with a real ? wires inside their carbon bags, that may be used in desperate need, they're better than twigs.

Btw. Salesmen who don't care/understand about physics have nice myth$ to sell...

The autozone Bosch sets have a lifetime warranty on them. I get a new set every year when I do a tuneup for free.

I've got copper wires. They conduct electrons in wires at conductors command, not random wireless desperado jumps from one soot particle to next [roll dice if they reach he plug or what].

Tuneup for only once in ten years... Oh, the NGK plugs have to be pulled off more often. ...no coilcraks.

If u have, u know the difference. If u dont have, well...
