Default Performance spark plugs
There are so many spark plugs to choose from 1.75 to prices that are unmanageable , I am looking for a good performance spark plug for my 68 427. Just bought Taylor SS Full Metal Jacket Braided Spark Plug Wires for my HEI . And before i put them on i also thought of changing my plugs. Just bought my car about 2 months ago and dont know the history of the plugs. Thanks...

Nothing wrong with AC Delco Rapidfire. That's what I use. Keeping that great GM feeling!
