Wow, where are you finding platinum plugs for only $2.00 per plug?!?! The cheapest I can find Delco ones is $6.00 per plug. I won't put anything else in my 'Pala. At 255k, have you had to replace your upper intake manifold yet? Replies to this message: txguy (Apr 15, 2009 8:13 am) highmiler650 (Apr 15, 2009 11:28 am) highmiler650 (Apr 15, 2009 11:27 am)

Replying to: gar_fanatic (Apr 15, 2009 7:57 am) replaced intake manifold at 50K or so. I also use only plugs that the car is designed around, Delco. Replies to this message: highmiler650 (Apr 15, 2009 11:28 am)

Replying to: txguy (Apr 15, 2009 8:13 am) The car will run fine on any brand as long as they are equivalent to the Delco you mention (Bosch, Champion or any other well known brand)
