Default Plugs and wire kit

Hi

Just looking at tuning up my 87 vette. Has the original TPI engine with 110k miles. Was wondering what kind of spark plugs and wires (type & brand) I should purchase to get the best performance and of course mileage

Thanks again.

Wow, you're the 7,985 person this week to ask this question. Search is your friend. You will find this topic has been done ad nauseum and in the end it all depends on personal preference like what type of oil, what brand of tires, what brand and octane of fuel, on and on.

If your in doubt, use A/C Delco on most items. I personally use the A/C Delco Professional Platinum Part #1 but standard plugs work well too. My choice of wires are Taylor universals as I dont mind putting the ends on to make the wires truly custom fitted. I hate extra plug wire junking up my engine bay.

Before you ask a question about any of the above info, please use the search, read for an hour or so then if you havent found your answer start a specific thread. It will be a lot quicker than waiting for answers here and then having to sort out everyones opinions.
