Okay, I need spark plug wires BAD and plugs, for plugs I'm going with the NGK TR55 and wires I'm not sure which ones on ZZP, will the PRJ Race Wire last longer than the other wires they got?

just go to advance and get the autolite wires.. they're going to be more than enough for any of our cars with less than 400 HP

yeah.. i'm sure someone is going to chime in and tell you to get expensive ones, cuz they do have less resistance, but you're not going to need that lil extra anyways.. yeah the autolites will be fine.. it's what i run and always will even when i get my swap and stuff done.. dont get the REALLY cheap brand (XACT) cuz they really do suck.. :lol:

I used AC Delco wires, and NGK TR5 plugs for a while. Nice results. I now use Autolite 104's with no noticeable changes.

The easiest way is to remove the bolts on the dogbones, and rock the engine forward. That will give you a couple more inches.

Your factory plugs SAY A/C Delco, but really are NGK Laser Iridium. :D

I undo the dog bones, then rock the whole car forward in Park. Once it's where I want it, I step on the E-brake.

Orly? Well then... The new replacement ones for my car (PN 41-101) say A/C Delco on the ceramic, but on the nut they are engraved with NGK. I've never pulled a plug out of a 2002+, so I wouldn't know...

I worked in '36 from '02 to '05, and all the plugs for the s/c motors said NGK on the ceramic.
