Question What spark plugs do you guys recommend?

I'm upgrading my ignition system as part of my 460 build. So far I've changed from points to Pertronix, got me an Accel coil, and some Taylor wires. Will new OEM plugs be good enough or should I go with something else? Thanks in advance from the frosty north.

Sure hard to believe that a spark plug would make your motor blow up???
And if that where posible i would have sued them to replace the motor.
