NGK TR-55V gapped at .060. With Accel wires. A little pricey, but they work good and I have no complaints.

How long can we expect the Autolite copper plugs to last? I wouldn't imagine that they could last more than a year until they need to be changed.

The plug in the rear on the drivers side is a bit tough, but not as bad as others I have fiddled with.

The hardest part is that you can't really see what your doing. So you need both hands to feel around. After you've done a few you can just stick the wrench down there and hit the right spot.

o good ness... im in the negatives... try on a 2000 series camaro v8... the rear plugs have to be handled by trained circus midgets with circus midget tools... or you have to lift the car and oil up your arm a weee bit hehe... thats a 8-9 job... i think a 10 would be a porsche 911 twin turbo motor... you cant even see anything in the motor... there is NO engine bay to work with its all under the car and most of that has panels to cover it all
bonnies are EASY!!! so jump right in

I use NGK Iridiums or TR55 copper which is ideal for supercharged 3800 engines. I also use the Silvertone - nology spark plugs due to silver being the most conductive metal and shoots a real hot spark - the best but expensive.
