Spark Plugs

[dmdeaton]

What spark plugs are you guys running and where is the best place to order some?

[DaWizard]

I got mine from Mikes A-Ford-Able and I duno what brand they are. I just know my car starts cold without the choke and purrrs with'em.

[DaWizard]

I actually got up off my arse and looked, disturbed the spiders and all. Using Autolite 3076 at .035 gap, 'cause I can't afford $100.00 fer spark plugs!

I am not too proud to take any and all contributions to the cause.

I run the proper looking and good performing ones. champion 3X ... Amazon 29.78 each
If your cheep buy the others:

[DaWizard]

I'm not cheap, just frugal.

[Paul K.]

Run Champion W18. Get them at NAPA and/or Amazon

[Big hammer]

I'm a fence rider w-18, then Champion 3x , now back to the w-18's and I think .032, maybe my coil needs replaced :-(

[Dave O'Neill]

W18's are definitely our biggest seller.

[dmdeaton]

Just ordered a 8 pack of W18's from Amazon, thanks guys

Most ANY plug with the CORRECT Heat Range will work well. There are NO "MAGIC" spark plugs!
With the suppliers cheapest plugs, Minerva did 12,000 miles, in 8 years without ever even pulling a plug! Don't remember the Brand???---Vermin will fire off with like new Champion C-16-Cs, that were in him when I bought him.
I drive with GUSTO, to keep the plugs cleared out, that's my "secret" way. AND, be sure to torque them EVENLY @ 25 Ft Lbs.

[BILL WILLIAMSON]

I use Champion 3x on my coupe (about $20 ea at O'Reilley's.) I use Autolights on the others. The 3x just look right, and since the coupe is my favorite, I spoil her. But I haven't noticed any difference in performance with either brand.

[BILL WILLIAMSON]

A spark plug is jist 2 wires that SPARK at each other & 1 has an insulator to get rid of HEAT!

Autolite in Fords, AC in GMC and Champion in Maytags.

[BILL WILLIAMSON]

Is that why my MAYTAG wouldn't RUN???

Do you have the part number O'Reilly uses for the 3X?

[Ray Horton]

No, you'll have to go in, and they'll look it up and probably have to order it from the warehouse. That's what my local store had to do. Then when I went in to pick them up, they had a little trouble finding them (lost on a back shelf). But your store might be more organized.

2 years ago went to napa asked about 3X plugs, they had to order them in. Went back the day they said and NO plugs :-( they had been discontinued.

[Ray Horton]

In my local experience, NAPA is the equivalent of Mac's.

[Mitch]

$20.00 is a decent price

[Dennis]

Yeah better than anywhere I found. Of course I jumped the gun and ordered a set from Amazon.

have had good luck with the Champ W18 (now 518) heat range for 5.5 head. O' Rielly's at $7 each.

[Nabco]

Champion 3X for me too, they look awesome and I really think the car runs better with them
