Default AC Delco Iridium 7.99?

Have heard AC Delco iridium plugs are better than NKG. Anyone disagree?

Anyone know where they can be had for less than $7.99 each?

Anyone see any reason why these wouldn't last longer than the "100,000 mile" stockers would?

thanks

I know, thats why I went with NGK last time. They're certainly cheaper, but a few folks who have ran both the NGK and the Delco iridium say the delco's are the way to go.

For that price.. they better work better

NGK's work well for me.

Call me crazy.. but I don't like reinventing the wheel. I see what works, and go for it.

Besides.. for the price difference, you could afford to change the NGK's a couple times.

I'm currently using the AC Delco iridium spark plugs part # 12571164 SP 41-985.
$7.15 each. Pricey, but I like them, good quality! No problems here.

The Delco iridium plugs are direct factory replacements. They will go 100K miles on a stock motor. I bought a set from NAPA for $5.75 each. Shop around for best price in your neck of the woods.

My NGK TR55IX (irridium) plugs were $12 ea. Stick with the copper. the irridium did not look great after 13K and less than 1 year.
