While I'm waiting on some parts to arrive, I thought I’ll get some new Fire-sticks (spark plugs). After reading some earlier post’s I’m better informed but still a little unsure.
· Bosch X5DC – Original, but hard to find = Care factor 0, happy to use something else
· NGK D7EA – Replacement for Bosch = Care factor 1, apparently work but is there something better?
· NGK D8EA – ‘cooler’ plug = Care factor 2, living on the Gold Cost (warm climate) would this one be more suitable as the D7EA?
· NGK Iridium DR7EIX – Iridium ($$$) and an ‘R’ = Care factor 3, can my ‘88 RT handle the ‘R’ plugs, the leads are original?
· Denso IX24 - Iridium ($$$) = Care factor 3, how much better are Iridium plugs?
I believe the current leads are in good condition and don’t require immediate replacement. But if new leads (…which sort?) and Iridium plugs are going to make me go “Yea Baby”. I’ll have to find another 7-11 to rob.
Any thoughts…
