Tune ups

How often do you guys tune up your rigs? You know, pull and change plugs, cap rotor and wires, etc. Also what do you guys recomend for good wires and plugs for a 351? Thanks

Tune ups

With electronic ignition I tune my engine every 50,000. Motorcraft plugs, motorcraft dist cap & rotor. Motorcraft plug wires if you feel that you need them.

stick with the motorcraft ignition parts, My 351 and every one i've ever owned eats the other brands for lunch.

I've read on here a day ago about 351's and fords in general eating plugs and aftermarket parts like that. Might have been one of your posts!
