Plug wire heat shields?

[HiHoeSilver]

Maybe I’m being neurotic, but can’t a guy find OEM AC Delco plugs, rather than the “Professional” crap? Hoping they’re comparable for plugs.. I know when it comes to most parts, the professional series are garbage, compared with OEM.

As I am looking more, the ones I have seen and bought do seem to be listed as professional. I'll have to dig into the delco book a bit. The 110 iridium was changed to 962 platinum in the older trucks service specs for cost savings is all. Agree that longer life is the only difference really.

to my understanding professional is the stuff you want, Advantage is to avoid

There are 3 delco lines. OE, Pro, and advantage. The OE is just that. The pro is usually ok, but can be hit or miss. The advantage is a no go zone.

Reminded me of the no go zone in the hot crazy matrix. If you’ve never seen this you gotta watch. Funny af but so true. Watch for the unicorn heads up.

NGK TR6 work great for my blown 6.0 but don’t last long.

How often do you change them?

When it starts running rough, or the opportunity presents itself like now when things are taken apart. Since the headers were installed I need to pull the wheels and inner liners to change them so I’ll change plugs now while a header was removed and front wheels removed to pull the trans. The plugs are only $2 apiece so it’s cheap.

Have you tried running with iridium or platinum?

No, I was told to run the copper ones by Whipple so there’s less chance of detonation. I see no reason to pay $50-$60 and go through the pain of swapping plugs only to take a chance. I figure the experts should be listened to. And BlackBear also concurred on the TR6’s.
