Copper Spark Plugs.
I heard from a friend that the Autolite 104 copper spark plugs are good for an lt1. I know that platinum is the norm, anyone have any experience with these or know if this is true?

The thing with the platinum plugs is the pucks on the tips get blown away, thus instantly opening your gap to .090 of perhaps even larger. There have been quite a few posts about this phenomenon.
Hope this helps

I'm running the champion copper plugs in my car. They work like a charm. Although, if you're running NA and no internal engine work, there really is no need to run anything other than the platinum plugs. But if you have plans for something bigger down the road, do the copper plugs.

I think I'm gonna get the autolite 104s as long as they're not too expensive, you know a site I can order them from? I haven't seen them available anywhere.
