Default Spark Plugs

Anyone have experience with the E3 spark plugs or the Nology silver electrode plugs on your C4? Thinking both would be an upgrade.

After going around the horn on ignition parts mine say ACDELCO and the car just purrs like a kitta.

Experimentation is expensive and rarely yields manufacturer's claims in this area for our C4s. But being America please try them all and have fun doing it!

The reviews I read on the E3 are mostly complaints. Just go with NGK TR55 G-Power and you will be fine.

All a spark plug does is create an arc. Don't waste money on gimmick plugs. I've used copper core NGK TR55's and Autolite 606's in my LT1. No ignition problems whatsoever.
