Autolite AR134's. These are marketed as racing plugs and come from the factory with cut back ground electrodes. This exposes way more of the spark to the air/fuel mixture, and they work! Cutting back the electrodes is a performace mod you can find in the "Tech Tips" section of this webpage. With these plugs, Autolite has done the work for you.

Rapidfire 12s or 14s for my LT1. And if you want a set for $18 shipped- see my post in c4 parts, I still have a couple sets.

I got mine at Advance Auto parts. If they don't have an outlet near you, just call around to your local auto parts stores and see who carries Autolite plugs. I just called and the salesman said they retail for about $1.59 each. $13 for pre-modified cut back racing plugs - pretty good deal if ya ask me :)
