Time to do plugs and wires for my 1983 W250 - what are the desired plugs for this year truck? Currently, it has AC R44 XLS Plugs - the two I pulled looked like the truck was running quite lean with fairly large gaps. Not looking for fancy plugs, just reliable and a known plug that works well with the 318 -thanks!

 

No recs with all those views? I am looking for a plug brand/model that is known work well with these older Dodge 318's, thanks!

 

Champion coppers are what came in it from the factory. Basically, any good copper plug will work just fine.

 

Thanks, I was guessing copper is the way to go - seems like the quality has dropped over the years - Champion still good or other brand preferred? The last Ford I had pointed me to Autolights - not sure about Dodge and what brand seems to work best

 

I am personally not a fan of Champions.... I use A/C Delco, or Autolites generally. But yeah, copper is certainly the way to go.

 

Thanks Hey You - I think I will stay with the Delcos - I think Champion quality has been up and down a lot

 

have used Champions for years and years. people beat this subject to death.. plugs are a wear item and are cheap. Champion #404 or 405 has always done fine in LA 318s for me. Have had many of those engines and still do. ACDelcos in a Mopar DO NOT work.... if you want a squeal in your speakers with the radio on go ahead and run ACs...... every stinkin time I have tried ACs that has been the result.
the only "premium" plug I have ever tried were the Champion "truck" plugs, that they no longer make (wish they did) Platinum, iridium are a waste on tehse engines.
