Question Spark Plugs???

I know this probably belongs under the FE forum, but I get better responses here. I'm running a 360FE and am wondering what are the best plugs to run in these. Been considering the platinums, but don't want to spend the money if they do no good for my engine.
Thanks
Martin

I use plain Autolites. I've spent the money on Truck Plugs and platinums, but the plain Autolites seem to work just fine. And they're cheap.

I've had excellent luck with the regular Autolite plugs as well. The work well in a wide range of fuel mixtures and octanes, and seem to have a long life to them as well.

Thanks Guys. Guess I should listen to my Dad. He suggested the Motorcraft (same as Autolites, I think). Just wanted a second opinion though.

Sounds like your Dad is a pretty smart fella! I think the Autolites are just fine too. All I have ever used.

Hey Ray, just a side note, but my Dad also loves those old 8N Tractors.
