Re: Spark Plug Poll (plumberh2o)
On my 88 I was using the Bosch Platinum 4202s I believe. They worked fine for a few thou, and then it would run poorly soon after. I then discovered the Rapidfires (No. 5) and found the best performance for many thousand miles. A plug change on my old 88 was a cake walk. On my 94 it looks a little differant, but I will know for sure as soon as I figure this high idle condition out. In addition, I will be using the Delco platinums on the LT1.

I wanted to put in the NGK's but could not find them anywhere, so I went with the AC/Delco

The latest NGK Irridiums absolutely kick*** Replaced original AC Delcos and the car smoothed out at idle and got SOTP feel. Tried the Bosch +4 -but caused my 95 LT1 to detonate.

They are the TR55VX, they are irridium and I got them from sparkplugs.com.
It was a noticeable difference, but what came out were, I believe, the factory AC platinums with 42K miles. Try them, you won't be disappointed.

Re: Spark Plug Poll (XtremeVette)
Does anyone know what the part number is for the AC/Delco Rapidfires for an LT-1? Walmart is discontinuing AC/Delco from their shelves. They have the Rapidfires marked down to $4 for 2! I could not find a cross-reference sheet. Seems like a good deal to me! :yesnod:
