Just get them from a vendor -->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That way you don't have to worry about some parts counter boso giving you the wrong thing, or arguing with you and telling you they're not for your car.

If you want the cheap V-Power TR-55's just ask for NGK stock number 3951.

LMAO, i went into the autopart store for a turn signal resistor (don't know the correct term, the little square box) so i talk to the guy, and he brings one out that's about 3/4 the size of the stock one... So i ask "Are you sure thats the right one, looks to small", and he replies "they're always smaller when their new" I quickly left the store and got it somewhere else...

I have an 87 Toyota with a Chevrolet 383 in it. I would go to the parts store and ask for a certain NGK plug. Instead of gettng me the plug I asked for, they would ask what vehicle it was in. Imagine how surprised they get when I tell them. I even had one person tell me there was no way they could look up the part for me since it was not a stock vehicle. The more computers we get, the less some people think it seems...

Also tell him Nino Concepcion (email: scof0elife@yahoo.com) told you about his deals on them. Great guy, I needed my plugs asap and upgraded me to a faster shipping for free.

wow are spark plugs really something you need to shop around for the best price for? If so I'm sure you should be spending money modding your car.
