NGK and Denso both make good spark plugs. Most of the rest are sub-par or worse. |

NGK: UR4 Denso: T14PR-U (resistor) IW16 (Iridium) Autolite: 26 (resistor) AP26 (Platiunum) APP (Double platinum) Bosch: HR98C+ (resistor) champion: RV17YC (resistor) These are some, there are more. I am using the AP 26 right now. (to the dismay of others on this forum I,m sure), I'd use the Bosch Plugs if I had a choice. |

Autolite plugs are now crap from China. Champions have long been crap from America, who knows where they're made now. Bosch = crap from China or Germany (see? Even the Germans can make crap!) |

I strongly second using NGK or Denso. Even 10 years ago I was having problems with Champion plugs. In cars that sit for a couple of months without running, the car would miss and run terrible. The plugs looked fine but just didn't work. I would even use AC plugs after NKG or Denso, but since I have not used anything but NGK for the last 4 years I am not sure what they are like anymore. Along the same line I have been only using NTK oxygen sensors as well. They really seem to be the best. |

The UR4 NGK's have been awesome in my engine, gapped at .045. Click on the red link for pictures. |
