Yes, search has been disabled.
The answer to your question is autolite number APP764. Autolite double plat plug, tried tested and approved by many, many a CEG member.
Now see, answering a question is painless isn't it?

Stick with the original motorcrafts. I switched to the autolites and they suck!! I had two plugs arc and kill themselves in less than 2000 miles. Plus, the motorcrafts are a fine wire electrode where as the app764's are not. Perhaps I just had a bad experience with the autolites but the choice is yours.

Autolite makes motorcraft plugs, just so you know. And I say you got a couple bad plugs. Several other members have had them for many, many miles with no issues, including myself.

Actually, Autolite manufactures Motorcraft spark plugs ...
APP764 will do the trick, or APP104 is equivalent if your local store doesn't have the 764's for you. Both work fine - don't be scared by the extra threads on the 104.
Granted, the Autolite branded plugs aren't fine wire, but make sure if you do buy Motorcraft that you get a DOUBLE PLATINUM plug ... I was using a fine wire single plat Motorcraft at first in the 3L (AWSFxxFS), before I knew any better ... single plat is NO GOOD. You'll be able to see the platinum button on the ground electrode if it is double plat.

Ok here is a question for you guys, on the motorcraft plugs. My 2000 SVT came with AWSF 32F. These plugs worked great. When I pulled them at 35,000 they were still in respectable shape. I replaced them with the APP 764's. IMO these plugs were terrible. As I stated before, I had two of these arc through the ceramic and kill themselves within 2000 miles after installing them. I went to the Autolites based on people's experience with them here on the CEG. After my experience with them, I decided to go back to the Motorcrafts. The parts guys at my local stealership supplied me with AGSF 32FM. Obviously they are different from the original plugs. The only visible difference between the two Motorcrafts is the extra threading on the AGSF 32FM's and the lack of a black coating. They seem to be working just fine in the tour, but maybe you guys have some other info that I am not aware of. Are these safe to be using or should I go back and get the original AWSF 32F's?
