Reply to "Plugs"

Plug brands are like brands of beer: its a personal choice (except for Lodge Platinum which seem to be universally worthless on V-8 engines). All major US brands are fine, but I suggest you finish the job by also replacing the plug wires, cap & rotor & a new coil wire; if the missing persists, its probably in the fuel system somewhere. If you haven't changed fuel hoses within 5 or so years, be aware that the MTBE gas additive so beloved of the EPA, is directly responsible for a major increase in engine fires here. MTBE sucks the plasticizer out of neoprene making it brittle. Vibration then cracks the hose & you have a leak, then a fire. Hoses are cheap...
