65-StingRay said:I own a 65 vette with a big block (23years now). I have tried a number of different brand name spark plugs thru out the years. From autolite,champion,split fire,ngk,ac delco and some brands I can't even remember. Tried different heat ranges of the same brand. For the last 3 years it's been the AC Delco Rapid Fire # 10 with a gap of .0035 (comes stock this way). I've also tried the Rapid Fire # 1 (gap .0045 I believe). All I can say about this issue is - everytime I change my plugs I always think my car starts and runs better - anecdotal evidence. I guess my point is, no matter what plug I used it worked fine until I bought into the hype of the next plug to come along. Now that I'm older and maybe a little wiser I find I don't buy into the hype as much. In the end I switched to th AC's because I want to use plugs that are best suited and as close to the stock one's as possible. By the way they are not the cheapest plugs out there. But compared to what I've spent on parts thru out the years a couple of extra dollars isn't going to break the bank. So the talk of expense is a moot point for me. I change my spark plugs every 2 years and I only drive my car in nice summer type weather.
By the way being Canuckian I laughed at the comment about- the sniper - alluding to the frozen pond game of Hockey.

I think you meant 'DNRC'Larry82 said:Maybe we need to forward this to the DNC as evidence how the EPA is wasting our money.

Vettehead Mikey said:Even though that thread is a few years old and some of the contributers have moved on, the basic message still holds true.
There's no evidence to support the beleif that iridium/platinum/unobtainium plugs work any better than the plain jane AC Delco or Champions.
The high cost plugs do last longer, but most of us will never own or use the car long enough to take advantage of that.
