Or those Halo plugs, or Splitfire plugs, etc.

Tried Spit Fire once but couldn’t tell the difference from the AC’s I was using then. Have had good luck with Bosch Platinum.
Actually I have heard lots of complaints about the Bosch platinums. On a 1985 Escort I had to clean the rotor/distributor cap/spark plugs every few thousand miles to keep it running good. Then switched to Splitfires and never had to do that again.
Interesting. On an 82 Caprice I got 60,000 miles on one set of Bosch Platinum and replaced them with another set. Sold the car after about another 50,000 miles and it was running good. Passed emissions test with no problems 3 months before I sold it. That was one year ago. Going to put a set in the 77 Caprice I’m driving now when I need to change plugs.
I hear good things about the iridium plugs. I run NGK copper cores though, because I can’t afford iridium plugs (doubt they’d give my little 1.5l engine much of a boost, anyway).

No. The European Escorts are the ones we wish we had here.
I’ve been thinking about getting a set, but I heard you can’t gap them like you can regular plugs.
Plus I’ve been looking online on various car sites about them, and either people love them or say don’t bother unless you are doing forced injection or running a heavily modified engine.
