Spark plugs

I Have a complete miss on one cylinder and the plug is washed.
I am looking at getting a set of E3 dimondfires.
just cannot find the part number. does anyone know it?
Also on summit the 390 and 351w show to be the same plugs.
Are they the same?
If so i will order a 351 set so i dont confuse my parts supplier.

I suggest that before you buy anything, do a compression test. I would suspect it ain't the plug but a dead cylinder. Oh and all those expensive plugs do is suck your wallet dry unless the ignition system was designed for them, so forget the hype and put what the factory recommends in it.

Stick with Autolite or Motorcraft plugs they are designed/engineered for Ford engines. Do the compression and/or a leakdown test before you go further.
