Default Can't get NGK TR-55's???

Well seeing as how none of the local auto parts stores seem to have the plugs that I want. (NGK TR-55) What is another plug besides the irridium NGK's that is a worthwhile replacement? Or do any of our vendors carry the NGK's?

Walked in the door of O'Reilly's and got mine. Think they use a different part number than the TR-55 designation, so they had to cross-reference them to find them.

I get mine from NAPA. Part # 3951. The box has 3951 and TR55 on it. 3951 is the new part # based on what NAPA told me. I got lucky as the first guy didn't have a clue, the other guy was a F-BOD guy and he knew right away what I was looking for.

I tried a quick search and they have them online, 1.79/each.

Thanks, I picked them up at NAPA today. I was originally told that NAPA did not carry NGK's so I never thought to try there. It was a good thing that you gave me the NAPA part number though, without it the counter guy had no clue. Those guys amaze me sometimes... :smash: :smash:
