Default Re: Plugs and wires

Following Pete P's recommendation, for 11 years now I've been using the AC Delco 41-602s.

They aren't made of rare earth - just good ol copper. They work as well as the Iridium (Champion) plugs do, but I can buy 4 or 5 of the 41-602s for the cost on ONE of the exotics.
(They) won't last as long some say? Well, at ~ $2/plug vs $9-10+/plug I can afford to replace them every season. And, with the LT5. it is so easy to get to the plugs there's no need to spend big $ for plugs that last 20k+ miles (and suffer those last few k miles with dying plugs). I can put in new plugs every season or two - and also assess how each cylinder's injectors are working while I'm at it.

These plugs in the photo are some 41-602s I pulled out for inspection that have been in service for two seasons (~6k miles). They're practically like new! What do you think?
