I have had great luck with Autolite or Motorcraft plugs in my GM motors! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img] In my neck of the woods way back when (in and around 1970....geez counting the years gives me a headache, but I digress... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]) that was a hot tip for your rat motor musclecar. For me at least that all changed when NGK came to town.

I agree Autolites work well in GM cars, probably lots of others as well.

In fact, just put a set of $1.90 Autolites in a Ferrari V12 and it runs way better than it did with the high dollar Champion platinums.

I've had really good experience with Autolite's in my Nitrous Street Racing days many, many moons ago. I'd burn the electrodes off from AC brand plugs but those cheap, regular Wal-Mart Autolites ALWAYS held up for me! I like their numbering system also......#24, #25, #26's for their heat ranges in my application. I'd use #25's for no bottle usage and the #24's for the NOS.
