Yeah it doesnt really matter whether you run the dual or the single--just know that if you run singles you have to change them more often.
Mine are iridium Plats--like i said--just because--I guess because i have just gotten the motor rebuilt and just wanted a little unseen bling.

i've tried about 10 different styles and brands of spark plugs...none seemed to be any better than the cheapo depo ones from oreiley's..so i use them..why spend a crap load on 4 name brand or whatever plugs...when u can spend just a few bucks on some cheap plugs that do the EXACT same thing

BTW, our engines were designed with 1 specific kind of spark plug. I am playing it safe and using that specific one. My, what peace of mind it brings.........
And I bought them for $2.22 ea! I believe they are about $10/ea at the dealer. Yep, hard to believe but I checked the number on the plug box.

Totally agree! But if you read my post on the first page, I paid $2.22 ea which is still way cheaper than on the internet anywhere. The very last place I would get spark plugs is the dealer!

NGK spark plugs feature what is known as Trivalent plating. This silver or chrome colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. This coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without the use of anti-seize. NGK tech support has received a number of tech calls from installers whom have over-tightened spark plugs because of the use of anti-seize. Anti-seize compound can act as a lubricant altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage.
