I went with NGK TR55 plugs and Taylor Spiro Pro Spark Plug Wires, no regrets. AC Delco wires would have costed me $ 107 at O'Reilys...

Gap them at whatever your underhood specs sticker says. I believe it is .050 As for suggestions of what to go with, I also am a big fan of the NGK plugs and have also had good luck with the Taylor wires.

love the ngk or delco plugs. can't beat the taylor wires for the money and quality, they are the only wires i have used that actually fit without being ten miles to long. i own a repair shop and have tried everything. just drove 230 miles to pick up customers car that died and found the msd coil wire went bad. third time i have seen this on other cars

I think it was you that reccommended that Taylors to me and for the price they are AWESOME. Good fit as far as their length goes too.

Edit here is a thread from when I was asking for advice:

Don't be an idiot like me and buy the Taylor Thundervolts, especially if you have a stock ignition, they're overkill! The Spiro Pros are the ones to go with.

I liked the results of my MSD wires. Kind of a PIA to install but well worth it. The price isn't too bad either.

I use MSD, and the Zex plug. I had NGK tr6 and fowled them alot. (383-FI). The Zex plug has solved my problem. Been working on my fuel map also.

Don't know the heat range, but, if you go to zex.com, they have information on the plug. They have a selection for FI and NA. My NGK's were fouling alot in a cold start-up conditon. I ended up changing the injector vs. voltage cal @ low volts, and, the open afr cal @ cold temps (higher afr than stock @ MAP/ Low temp. - 13 to 14). The larger the injectors are, I have found this is necessary with my set-up (running 72# now).
Hope this helps.
