ArdWrknTrk Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I haven't, Dane. Rock Auto shows the NGK 6630 V-Power, AUTOLITE 25, CHAMPION 18, ACDELCO CR43TS, and DENSO 5025 as being the correct heat copper plugs. Have you run the NGK's? NGK V-power all the way, every day. That number supercedes their old nomenclature UR-4, and works great in my truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 NGK V-power all the way, every day. That number supercedes their old nomenclature UR-4, and works great in my truck. Ok, I asked DeWayne to order the NGK 6630 V-Power plugs. He was busy so I don't know when they'll come in, but he'll get them and I'll put them in before the trip. Thanks, guys.

Ifitaintbroke Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I'd have to agree that the efi engines still would have had copper from the factory. IIRC, it was a few years later that Ford went to platinum plugs, and I'm pretty sure that was when they also switched to the Triton boat anchors. (That is probably the worst vehicle transition ever. The obs Fords【with good, reliable engines】to the ugly roundbody junkhunks, with some of the trashiest engines ever made.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifitaintbroke Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The parts stores want to sell the most expensive parts they can. That is absolutely n̶o̶t̶ true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viven44 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 That is absolutely n̶o̶t̶ true. My local autoparts folks are not very savvy with older truck needs. Their specialty is definitely emissions parts for vehicles from the modern era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 My local autoparts folks are not very savvy with older truck needs. Their specialty is definitely emissions parts for vehicles from the modern era My parts man, DeWayne/93F3507.3 at Skiatook Auto Parts, is a member on here. Rarely, if ever, on but knows his Fords. Was telling me yesterday about the 70's F250 w/a 3.0 axle and a 460 he'd built. Even with the tall gears he surprised lots of people with an old truck. Called him today and he was busy, so I said "I want the NGK copper plugs and I think they are the 6630 V-Power ones but you might check when you get the time, and then order them, please." No mention of price but just "order them, please". He'll call me tomorrow and tell me when they are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an unusual plug (today, maybe, with all the iridium quad ground $25 sparkplugs being sold) Amazon usually has them Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Amazon has them for $36.88 for 8 and says they fit Big Blue. But I started the conversation with DeWayne and I'll give him my business 'cause I know him.

If DeWayne can't get them I'll call up John at Bumper To Bumper. Both of them contributed neat gifts for the show last year. As did O'Reilly's, come to think of it. So I'll give them all the business I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
