Question Bosch Platnium +4's in a '94 302

I have a '94 F-150 XLT 4x2 with the 302 in it. I have 110,000 kms on it and will be looking at changing plugs in it this fall. Thinking about the +4's but have heard that other people have had problems with them in the pre-97 engines. Any ideas or other comments on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'

I just bought another set of Autolite regular plugs for my '93 last night. I'd say stick with the older (non-platinum) plugs just to be safe.

My '93 used to eat spark plugs. The original Motorcraft plugs lasted about 25000 miles before they worn out. Then I put in Champion plugs and they lasted 20000. Replaced plugs every 20000 until 94000 when I put in Autolite Platinum plugs. They are still going at 162,000 miles. I'll probably replace them soon.

Dang. That's really eating plugs. Good to hear the plats work OK. Maybe I'll try some next time.

I put in the new Autolites last night. The old ones were still looking good. I could have just re-gapped them and put them back in. Would probably last another 20000 miles at least. Oh well, only $10 and a little time- might as well run new ones. The truck seems to respond a little better now.
