Plugs, Wires, & Cap January 23, 2007, 11:00:56 PM Just thought I would pick your brains while I am at. My '83 T-Bird 5.0L will need a tune up. It has a set of fouled Bosch platinum plugs in it. What type of plugs, wires, and distributer cap & rotor are you guys running? Performance is prefered over gas mileage, but both are important. Thanks for the input. Quote Selected
Plugs, Wires, & Cap Reply #1 – January 24, 2007, 07:14:24 PM Use the stock Motorcraft stuff. It's the best. You don't need platinum plugs the car actually runs better with the old copper ones. If you can't find Motorcraft spark plugs just get Autolites. They make the plugs for Motorcraft. Quote Selected
