Spark Plugs??
I was just wondering about what type of spark plugs use?. I was looking and noticed that there is the cheaper V groove plugs, and the more expensive platinum plugs, which claim you can get better milage and acceleration.
What's your opinion??
I change my spark plugs once a year, oh yeah my truck is a 79 F-250 with a 400M.
Thanks,
Joe

Honestly...the only difference between the platinum and regular spark plugs (to me) are that the platinums' will last longer due to the platinum coating. Me...I just run regular Motorcraft plugs in my 351. They fire good. Now when I drop the 429 in I'll probably use a different plug but for now, the Motorcrafts work just fine.

as long as it puts off a spark, one spark plug will be as good as the next. The only reason to get a platinum one would be for life of the plug, which will be longer because of resistance to corrosion.
