A couple of Random Questions?

I dont have my owner's manual and need some information.

What type of spark plugs does everyone use? I dont plan to spray it and it does not have forced induction. This car is pretty much stock.

And secondly, How much water does it take and what type should I get?

What I would like to know is, is there any specific brand or type of water that is prefered for these cars. I know with motor cycle motors, specifically honda, is that they should not have antifreeze with sillica in the water because it eats the seals.

do NOT use platinum plugs with nitrous! TR6's if you plan to spray, they are a slightly colder plug.

use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water

i worked at a chevrolet dealership here in memphis and we used water straight from the faucet when i worked on engine light line.

we have an aquafer ( sp? ) here so our waters pretty clean, not sure if that makes a difference though
