Default spark plugs for 86

I'll change my sparkplugs for the first time what should I use, if money is no object.
Just want the best ones.

Are delco still the best? I saw iridium things... what are those?

I used $1.50 AutoLites and mine runs perfectly, per advice from some of the senior guys here. Once I step up to a 383 with forced induction I may change them. Until then I am sticking with the AL's. Hope that helps

Get copper plugs. Delco, NGK, and a gap tool.
