Default Spark Plugs and Steam Vent hose

Just a couple quick questions
just got my 97 s10 running and
1) was curious to know what spark plugs should i use
2) does the steam vent need to be on the pressurized side or can i run it to the coolant overflow?

1997 s10
2002 6.0l
t56
TSP V2 cam
everything else is pretty much stock

Edit I answered my own question with the steam vent now i am just curious as what plugs to run.

Stem pipe must run to the upper radiator hose. It can also run to the water pump. Check my build thread for exactly which side of the water pump, I forget.

Steam Vent hose should be run to either the upper hose with a fancy fitting, or to a coolant degas tank. It can also be plugged after you get all the air vented out of the system.

I run mine to the Radiator. The aftermarket Alum radiator that I have had a threaded port that was just below the Radiator cap (not the overflow) and in the tank.

other options have been the upper radiator hose (using a Tee), Water Pump (as already stated) and also the Heater Hose (using a Tee), along with the Radiator.

Is it the NGK TR55 V-Power, the NGK TR55 G-Power Platinum or the TR55 Iridium spark plug, NGK lists the TR55 3 different ways.
