Only problem with those plugs is that your going to have to change them relatively often. They're just a standard copper plug, so you're not going to get anywhere near the mileage out of them that you would with iridiums.

I went with delco iridiums and msd wires when I did mine, reason being the plugs are a kind of a PITA to change and I don't want to have to do it any more than necessary.

We have them as well and you don't have to pay the $12 handling fee that Jeg's charges to box up a set of plugs and wires. We can have them out the same day as well! We have the MSD wires and both standard NGK plugs and iridium plugs on the shelf and ready to go!

Sounds good Jon. This is a job I need to do too. Ten years on my first set of plugs is probably long enough!
