Well I barely failed inspection last week for emissions on my truck at idle. Inspector told me that new plugs will do it cause it was so close to passing. It passed the High speed emissions just not the idle.

Sooo last week I replaced the original coil and the front shocks that were blown out after some fun on the beach and last Friday I replaced the back shocks and added a new set of wires that were badly needed. one terminal on coil to wire connection dumped a bunch of rust when removed cleaned it up.

trying to decide on plugs now should I go with the straight up AC replacements or bump up to a E3 plug or Bosch+4 or maybe the +2. People claim improvements in performance and mpg with the better plugs I guess it is possible. but I am not to sure if it will give me any improvement the cost difference is significant. $1.50 vs. $6.00 x 8 needed

So opinions of Spark plugs in a old V8 with a ton of miles?

come to think of it I should get a new fuel filter also god only knows last time that was changed.
