Spark Plugs

My spark plugs have been sitting in the truck without plug wires on them for months now should i spend the extra 8 dollars and get new ones or try to clean these off somehow? About a month before the truck tore up i put them on. I should have the ol' 300 going by tomorrow if everything goes right.

Quite honestly, they arent gonna do any harm just being run......

I would be concerned about getting them out though, has the motor sat in the weather? or was it snug under the hood of a vehicle?

Id pull them just to make sure they arent stuck in there, clean em up good, check the gaps and run em if they are still new"ish"

What kind of issues did you have that would cause it to be parked? was there detonation? was it running rich? are they oil fouled?

If they are clean and look new still, run em. If not, Marks correct, they arent expensive enough to fret over

good luck
