Default Spark Plug Time

Gonna change my spark plugs. Is there a type in particular I should look for? If so, where should I order them?

I fouled a lot of NGK plugs, don't know if it was a fluke or the plugs. I was having opti problems during that time so that might have had something to do with it. I use Autolites (106 for stock heat range) now cuz they're cheaper and readily available at Wal-Mart.

I just ordered some NGK TR55 Platinums. I dont plan on spraying or anything for a while so the Iridiums can wait. So I get to change LT1 spark plugs on the weekend. It cant all be fun I guess.

to make spark plug installs easier, buy headers. It's an expensive, but very satisfying, way to make life easier

Long Tubes! Shorty's and Mid-Lengths definitely don't help any

I have BBK shorties and plug changes were a bitch! I bought that slp socket though, now it takes almost no time.
