Thanks all of you.
I just ordered 8 of them from Thunder Racing $ 2.25 Ea.
Anything else I need to know about install?

Why the heck does that install guide say to take out the #8 plug from the top? It is 8 million times easier to get to from the bottom!
Also, the best suggestion for this whole thing would be to use an air ratchet. I just installed LT headers and replaced all my plugs. I removed the old plugs before taking off the headers, and installed the new ones after putting on the LTs. I'm going to tell you, if I hadn't had an air ratchet (connect socket to ratchet, put socket on nut, press trigger - repeat) the whole job would have taken days . . . or even weeks!!
