    You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

      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.

    3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

        W18's are definitely our biggest seller.

            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.

              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.

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

                    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.

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

                    $20.00 is a decent price

                      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.
