I realize that I would be the person to answer the question, but we are not provided with answers as to part number changes or revisions. This is like the 4th or 5th LS spark plug change now. It is also hard to tell any changes since it is just a spark plug.

Just giving ya the business... LOL Which is the correct number to use for AC Delco Iridium plugs or is it better to just call you at time of order and specify which year model we have?

I may have worded that incorrectly. GM keeps changing the part number but the same number is used for all of the LS series of engines basically. Anyone can feel free to call... but here is the latest number from my specials list.

12621258 – GM AC Delco Iridium spark plugs – 6.47 each
