    ^Yup. Double platinum. Or Motorcraft, but Autolites are a much better deal.

    a lot of people think the motorcraft sp 432 are the best to use. i have them in my car and they are good, i have never tried autolite.

    I ran autolites pretty much a majority of the time I had my car.

    i would like to add, once upon a time... terry haines told me the 1 1/4" spark plug threads eventually get carbon build up on them, because they are too long. thus removing them, will strip the threads on each head. has anyone had problems with this? i currently have the longer threaded spark plugs in my csvt. i just don't believe this could happen unless you keep the same spark plugs in for a very long time. mine have about 500 miles on them
