Help-Plugs for MSD 6AL
I have a 1993 f150/5.8 4x4, I'm installing the MSD ignition components with new wires, etc.. What is the best plug to finish the install?

Motorcraft plugs have always worked for me. The Bosch with a single electrode may indeed work well, just never tried them.

With my 6A, I run regular old NGK v-power resistor plugs. Nothing fancy; stock type plugs are fine, and no platinum for me.

Do you notice an improvement in perrformance with your MSD 6?
Been looking that over along with a Blaster 2 Coil myself.

just stay away from the gimmicky plugs, you know the ones, multiple legs around electrode.
autolites seem to work the best for me

NGK Spark Plugs
NGK may very well be a good plug as well as Bosch. I think I'll continue to use good old Motorcraft and let the Japanese and German economies benefit in other ways. I might try Autolite, Ford after all. I've just never had a complaint with the Motorcraft.

Only thing I noticed with the 6A was a little bit smoother idle. Performance was about the same, but I already had the blaster TFI coil.

Ya, I'd say use the NGK v-groove. I got a blaster coil, cap, rotor, wires and NGK plugs and there was a definite increase in power
