Which car are you getting the plugs for. If it is for your Series II I would recommend the stock AC-Delco platinums or 1 range colder AC platinums. The rapid fires are not good for these plugs. AC-Delcos are very good plugs. That is what we have in the SSEi and GTP.

Delco is the same as most NGK'*, heck delco even makes them, supposedly they are identical to one of NGKs models. I have delcos and am happy with them. I also have taylor wires and stock ignition system.

Well, I changed my plugs, PCV valve, Air filter, oil filter and oil. Seems to be running smoother but still getting only 25 or 26Mpg. I was getting 30Mpg on average and it dropped suddenly. :?
Bruised and cut up my arm trying to get those rear plugs out ! I think they were original plugs and rusted in
The electrodes were almost gone !!
Anyway, I think I will change my Front O2 sensor next, and I just bought some plug wires. I'm gonna let my arm heal before I attempt a journey to the back of the engine again.
Can anyone think of anything else that I should change to restore my mileage ?
Cheers,
Andrew
