Well I will put my $0.02 worth in here. I have used Bosch Platinum,
Champion, NGK, and Autolite plugs. I like the Autolites the best. They
do not foul as often as do some of the others I tried, they seem to burn
cleaner, and they keep their gap alot longer. In fact I have never had
to regap my Autolites when cleaning them. Also I never had the
electrodes burn off like I have with Champions. Bosch Platinums work
great until they get a little dirty, then they are worse than a wore out
plug. NGK is pretty average IMHO, they seem to do the trick, but I would
not waste my time trying to find them if I walked into a parts house and
they did not stock them. On the other hand Autolites I probably would.
These are the experiences of someone that has some very strong opinions
about what he spends his money on. NOT.
