Just get NGK plugs, and you got to either kneel on your battery and reach back there or jack the car up and get the #8 plug from underneath the car.

I wouldnt use the +4's I work at a parts store, and have heard stories about guys with aluminum heads having them melt the plugs to the heads. and most of it is just marketing, I mean the plug can only spark on 1 electroid per fire, so your really not gaining anything, like said above just use NGK's or AC delco's
