Plug quality? Sure. Consideer how the things are made.
Do you buy any electrical componenets?
Quality control on them is like a 50/50 proposition.
The problem is that they actually need to employ people to check quality on the components. They just don't want to do that. They might have to pay health care costs you know?

Incidentally Trane says that the quality went out the window when they went non-union. Good workers are too expensive. Screw them and the customers.

I find that the 42 heat range for me causes more problems then it helps. I like the 32's, and the Motorcrafts at that. Let AC stick their plugs in a 'vette where they belong.

Champions are you next best bet and that's a frightening thought!

One thing that I like to do with ALL FORD v-8s is to remove the PCV hose from the intake manifold and run it to the bottom of the air cleaner.

You can be blaming a lot of serious internal issues on a crappy PCV design. The location on the Ford intake manifold is too low and it siphons oil into the intake.

Maybe #2 just gets more crap from it then the others? Just like Grandpa has his favorites and his black sheep.
