You can try eBay for the wires too. Maybe be able to save a couple bucks. I used to use Autolite plugs until I read about people having some trouble with the electrodes falling off; now I use NGK. Copper plugs are more conductive; better power and economy, albeit the change interval is smaller. Its easy to change plugs on these trucks, though.

I prided through ebay using the ford part number as a cross reference, yeah, i'll save $10, so i may go that route this weekend.

I picked the standard issue NGK Copper plugs today. I'll also dig out the timing light to do all the swap next weekend.
