exactly what I was going to post. Definitely can't hurt for less than $20.

douchenozzle just grabbed junk plugs out of a box and threw them in. Wrong plug completely. I'd definitely be checking #8, too, for sure and do what Mark suggested with replacing all 8 ASAP.
Mismatched plugs...get #8 out, and change them all. You need to eliminate this as an issue. Get with it, no excuses!

Yes sir, gotta get down to Advance tomorrow. Not looking forward to laying on top of the motor again.
Does anyone know what the gap should be? I found this--
But I also found that the platinum--AcDelco that was in it--should be gapped at .040. Anyone know for sure? Opinions? I think I MIGHT go with the Delco's 41-962, unless someone has a better plug. Opinions?

How do you like those? What's the mileage those are good to? 100k?
.040 no matter what plugs.

COMPLETE GARBAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020
Purchased these plugs for a road trip on July 4th weekend. Had to change these plugs before Halloween. "More TRICK than TREAT." The center core electrode melted away in my set. I contacted AC Delco and they said it was upto the seller to honor any kind of a warranty. There is none listed for the product and the seller name is not listed either.
For the $48 I would anticipate they last a year (maybe more?) and come with some kind of warranty. Buy these and you will get neither. In a side by side comparison, these are the "Cheap Chinese Knockoff". NOT worth the money charged here. NOT actual AC Delco brand either. Go to your local parts store and buy the real thing. You will save $7, a little frustration and a lot of time. "Chuck Yeager would not be happy."
BUT--I just noticed this reviewer gave 10 reviews, but 7 are only 1 star. Is he just miserable lol?

Just get the ACDelco copper- R44LTSM is what RA shows for $1.34 each. Shouldn’t be much more at your local auto parts store. Actually they’re $2.79 each at my local Oreilly’s.

Or those platinums- that’s a good price.
Edit-pay attention to what @95escahoe just said too.
And edit again- those are obviously knockoffs, be aware

I run these double platinums, Tony. Rock Auto has them for under $5 each. Just buy from a reputable retailer.
EDIT: Mark's and Brett's suggestions are good, too.

He was saying he couldn’t afford good plugs, that’s why I was steering him to coppers just to get by. But yes, ACDelco platinum or double platinum or iridiums are the best way to go.
