Just curious here, what spark plugs to run. Right now I have Autolites in. Reason I ask too is because I also have a set of Accel that I bought for it , but the part that is inside the head ( dont know what to call it ) is longer on the Autolites . Like it is further into cylinder, but both seem to work. Just got me thinking what is best.

Come on what’s wrong with aughtalite? Lol

Lol. Those are still better than the Bosch platinums that all the parts counter boys want to peddle.

Ok , so what about the depth of the plug inside of cylinder, does it make any difference?

Yeah, but Joe Blow goes into his local Advance Auto for tune-up parts for his Malibu. Chances are good he's going to walk out of there with a set of store brand wires and a pack of Bosch Platinums. And a few months later on a rainy day, will get a random misfire and a flashing check engine light.
