what plugs and wires are suggested?
Well I recently purchased a 1992 Oldsmobile 88 with the 3.8L (L27). I am trying to do an all around tune up on it since it is my daily driver now.
I would like some suggestions on spark plug wires and spark plugs.
I really appreciate it!
BTW this site is awesome! All kinds of good information!

Rock auto sells a tune up kit that comes with a fuel filter, plug wires and a pcv valve for around 24 bucks, then you just need plugs and your pretty much set.

Depending on how long you want to keep it. I use auto light XP'* if you don want tot drop that much green and auto lite platinum will work.. Wire AC delcos are great no need for after market.

Any copper plug gapped right will be fine in your car. In the past I have had good luck with Bosch Platinum +2'*, they are a little spendy though. OEM style wires will be good enough for your N/A car

Are the 3.8(L27) and the other 3.8'* the same style? What I am trying to say is are the plugs and wire in the same design?
I saw a write-up on how to do it on a later model 3.8 by a fellow member on here.

The copper plugs are almost required for the boosted cars, but for your N/A porksoda, you can use most any name brand spark plug in the factory heat range.

The plugs should be in the same place as the L32 (Series 2 N/A) and L67 (Series 2 */C) and the wires should be routed real close. Use the write-up as a place to start
