Holy crap. I checked my spark plugs, and they are CORROTED with stuff, they are motorcraft, so i figure they've never been changed, 147,xxx miles, geeeeees.. So which should i pick up?

 

For aftermarket I like bosch plugs, just get regular single electrode, don't waste your money on the duel platinum or +4's. In my opinion though, nothing beats oem replacement motorcraft plugs.

i like champion plugs, no complaints about them

 

More opinions on plugs... Should I get wires and distributor?

 

My '95 4.9 / 5 speed get's a raging hard on when it finds out I'm getting it a set of Champion Truck Plugs.

Get a new rotor and cap, too, but make sure they have brass contacts.

I have wonderful things to say about Taylor plug wires, too.

Take care,

PKRWUD, I am getting ready to change out all my ingnition stuff. Would you recommend the Champion Truck Plugs for my truck, since its a 302? What kind of rotor/cap should I get? Will the ones at Autozone be good enough? And you also recommend me to change my plug wires ot the taylor ones, I have 73k miles on my truck.

 

What about the Ford Racing Plug wires?

And their Rotor and cap?

LOL! Ok I get our point lol!

 

The wires are okay, but the cap and rotor suck. MAKE SURE THE CAP AND ROTOR HAVE BRASS CONTACTS. It doesn't make any difference who makes them, as long as they're brass.

Champion truck plugs have been incredible with my 4.9, and I was turned on to them by a buddy with a 302 F150, so yeah, I'd recommend them for you.

 

I used regular autolites in my 302. Can't tell the difference between them or Champions.

 

Ok, an update, i put the plugs in, Champion Copper something.. Didn't get distr cap and rotor... not worried about that... got a new filter for the breather cap, and new vaccum hoses for on top of the intake manifold, they were weather cracked. But one problem, stupid check engine light keeps coming on and off?????

 

i use autolite platinums in mine therre the only plug i found to hold up to my msd ign. and i cant run solid core wires so i go with msd`s iniolator set good luck

 

Start by checking the O2 sensor. If the plugs were OE with 140K then most likely the O2 sensor was never replaced...
