Knowing that a lot of guys swear by NGK (I have no argument with that), I see no reason for any stock engine to use anything other than the stock application spark plugs...whether it be AC, Autolite, Champion, NGK, etc. You'll see no advantage to using exotic spark plugs, outside of your wallet being lighter and you might get a neat logo sticker to put on the car.

On my '69 L71 I use AC.

friend, you are going to get a differing opinion from everyone posting here. I have never seen a garage of guys who can all agree on "the best" spark plug. i use champions in my car, but i got a deal on them, so no real reason other than that, im sure you will hear people swear by everything, hahahah just watch out for those "pulse plug" things, 25 bucks a pop. Which is outrageous. peace
