the age old debate of plugs/wires
ok im gonna change mine this wekend now i know there has been lots of debate on what brand/gap/temp of plug to use...is what i wanna know (or to more politley put it would be greatfull if you could tell me) what you are running, and why (and hopfully a good reson not "thats all my dad ever used so thats all ill use" no ofence to your dad thow) and/or what you would stay away from and why i know diffrent plugs can cause diffrent levels of pinning and i wanna stay away from it so make and number(if possable) of the plugs you use and why
THANKS

hm..well i blew 2 autolite spark plugs up so far in my 1 1/2 months of owning my truck..but than again the idiot before me kept them suckers in their for a while..but right now i am runnig the boush platinum 2's and they dont seem to bad..i got a set of boush plug wires also...i dont like to mix match brands on my vechicles..so i try to keeep different sections of the truck the same brands...
I'm going to be running the platinum Autolites 5224 and I have the Blue Summit Wires 8mm to put on with them.
Running the plats cause they seem to last a while and fire quickly, I think the OE's were plats.
I'm getting the Summit wires cause they are inexpensive, look goodand should work well.

im running ( or should say was running [8D]) MSD 8.5 wires, MSD coil and autolight 3??? i dont remember its the cooler heat range one. gave me a much smoother idle and it seamed to run much better
im running 3924 autolites , i think its 3923 that most are running which you can find at any walmart stores .. 8mm or 8.5mm wires are what you want to run plus msd or accel coil.. make sure you cap is brass ...
thanks for all the quick replys guys...keep them comming
for wires i think im gonna go msd red 8.5 and a msd coil too (we run msd on the hoby stock and the sprint car so i can get them cheep)

My vote for ign wires would be Magnecor,
or buy two 4 cyl NGK sets if you are on a budget.
The NGK V-Power sparkplugs are impressive.
Indexing the plugs
and perhaps cutting back the ground electrode
is worth considering if you are after the best.
I can post the (long) Magnum Engine Sparkplug FAQ
if you want to research thoroughly.
