My shop tacher told me to use autolite in my truck because they burn a little coller to help keep the temps down but I think that them being reccesed like a stroke plug would meake it harder for them to fire the air/fuel mixture. any ideas guys Thanx

The Autolite 45 is great for everything -- even making your own dead-stop for finding TDC!

I like the Autolites as well. Used them in alot of different motors and they have done nicely. Even on Nitrous ;-)

And as he said...Definetly stay away from the platniums. You dont wanna see some of the aftermath I have seen from the platniums coming apart and droping into the combustion chamber. Can u say chitty chitty bang bang??
