Spark plugs
Spark plugs So the gaskets finally came in, and we began to proceed with taking off the Y pipe, and since i really didn't want to spend the time ordering NGR TK55s off the internet, and since this is really the only time i could do it, i went to the auto parts place and got some ACDelco 41-985 iridium sparks, quite costly as well, gapped at .040... When i pulled the 5 spark plugs (all i had time for tonight) i found that the previous owner had already been running NGR TK55s, which i have yet to find out the gapping on them.. So my question is, are these good plugs? or should i take them out, and eat the wait for NGR TK55s... and also what is the prime gapping i should use on these ACDelcos? Thanks for all the help
the ac delcos are great plugs....i have mine for 30k miles and three engine break ins....i took them out when i put in my headers and they looked brand new....keep them...they can be run for a long long time....the copper ngks arent worth the money if you run the car hard...the copper doesnt stand up at all to the iridium
I can't seem to find those plugs local either. I order them from sparkplugs.com, w/shipping they were about $24. Same price or cheaper than if I had to drive outside of my local area and get them.
And they are TR55 (not TK), stock # 3951. My bolt-on babycam car I gapped them between .050 and .055 (can't remember exactly, probably went .050 to be safe). I just switched to TR6 to give them a try, gapped at .045.

I just took my OEM AC Delcos out for the first time with about 70K on the clock, and they still looked good. I replaced them with AC Delco Iridiums and put on MSD wires. The new Iridiums were pre-gapped. Don't forget to use antiseize on the threads.

Search in the Nitrous section for TR6 and gap.
The AC Delco Iridiums are very good plugs, but not worth the cost IMO. I run TR55's as well but have no problem picking them up locally. I would have no problem at all running the AC's in my car. I just wouldn't pay that much for a set of plugs. I always keep a spare set of TR55's on hand and change them every 15,000 miles or so. They cost me about $15 a set. Last I checked the iridiums are like $7-$8 a piece.
