This is that I'm installing in about 3 weeks. I've heard mostly good things about them, got to be better than having AC pucks flying around in my cylinders.

You can go bananas and get some weird aftermarket crap, or go with the GM recommended AC/Delco part good for 100,00, miles!

I'm all for AC, and will be using them on mine, when the time comes. But, tell me in your honest opinion, would you leave any plug in your motor for 100k??? I've only got high 40's now, and am considering a plug change... Am I wasting my time?!??!?!

This was not the case with my 92 LT1 GM plugs, the first time I removed them at 42,000 miles, 4 out of the 8 plugs were missing at least one of the platinum pucks. :eek: I could not afford to replace all the plugs at the time so I just REGAPPED and reinstalled.

When I get them out I plan to post pic's of the puck-less wonders along side one's with there pucks inplace.

The LT1 AC 41-904 were about 6 bucks ea. I remember because I cracked 2 when removing them the first time.

The NGK's arent much cheaper at 5.50 ea.
