BestsSpark Plugs

I know I read in here the best spark plugs, but I got tired of searching the archives. Can someone help shed light on this? I am thinking the best plug was an Autolite.
Thanks

Best Plugs for '94 XLT

Thanks for the info. Is there a 3 character code that corresponds to those #'s? I looked them up at a couple of places and, although I get a number for a double platinum plug, it is only 3 characters, 6w9 I think it was.
Thanks

Yes, I have had trouble with Bosch, and a lot of other people have had trouble running them!! The Motorcrafts are the best plug to run!!

I haven't found any help for you on the 3 character P/N....sorry!!!

Is there a difference between AWSF42P-P and AWSF42PPF6? There is a note after the AWSF42P-P that it is the reccomended OEM replacement. (per Motorcraft website.)
Thanks

PS What is the deal with AGSF42EEM? They are also listed for the Explorer and are double platinums.
