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.

autolites seem to work the best for me

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
