I have a BB, and went with AC Delco's Rapid Fire plugs. I also used Taylor Spiral Wires. I actually felt a difference in the overall performance. |saluteflag|

If the car is stock, you can't beat the A/Cs. I agree with the rapidfires.

This should raise some eyebrows.I run only Champion plugs in everything I own.In my Blazer,car,truck,my 73 Vette and my 86 Honda Magna.My bike revs over 10,000 RPM and never skips a beat.Sorry,I tried AC plugs to me they give up too easy

For a piece of trivia:
Years ago Albert Champion sold and retired from his spark plug company. He soon was very bored. Wanting to get back into the business, he went to work for Delco and created their spark plugs.
A/C = Albert/Champion.

Nothing to do with todays plugs, just interesting.
