5.0 spark plug suggestion?
I believe I put Bosch Platinums in it the first time I had it running, then the coolant started spilling out onto the road every time I drove it. Upon taking the heads off to see what the problem was, we found two bad plugs on the passenger side. So it was running on 6 maybe 7 cylinders, which explains why it didn't perform like it should have been. Anyway, getting new cap and rotor for the distributor and a new set of wires, but does anyone who drives a 5.0 have a suggestion for better plugs? The engine's running higher compression than normal, 59cc combustion chambers after fixing the gasket surfaces, I have no idea if it makes a difference in the plugs.
