best spark plugs and leads

[Ausmartin1]

Amazing the crazy prices for a set of plugs and leads as aftermarket NHK and good set of lead can be bought easy. Should use some dielectric grease on the porcelain part of the plugs, that way the boots don't get stuck.... Yes it is interesting most aftermarket leads you have to reuse the original metal heat shields.

I use oem plugs & a/m msd leads, reuse shields.

.. except if the leads are ICE brand.

as I found out, you cannot use the metal shields as the ICE lead boot is far shorter (about 8mm) than the
original OEM boot. The ICE boots simply won't go on if you use the shields!



ps... I am using the original AC plugs (again)

You can buy the heat shields, I use them on aftermarket leads, exhaust manifolds. They seems to work.

Same here, been running them on my LS cars for years and have a set on both current cars. About $26 for 8 on ebay from memory.

I use those plug socks (note.. very different from the spring loaded factory metal shields) on the VK race car
(308 carbed race engine)

nice.. too ! as you can get them colour coded to ya plug leads

Colour coded you say? I've not seen them, I'll have a look. Black would be perfect.

Don't visit Rockauto if you want to see how much the prices of OEM spark plugs and wires are. The prices quoted above is just naughty.
The OEM part number for the spark plugs has changed recently.
When I am ordering something, I normally add service items or get my friend to add parts to his order.
Postage can be $$$ if it is coming from more than one location.
Friends old C4 Corvette is nearly rebuilt by Rockauto.

a big YES to that... as my local dealer found out when I went and got new plugs
they had them listed as #1262.. something but Holden could not supply that
as the new Holden number is #41977 also shown as AC Delco #41-110

The dealer part listing had not been updated
