Good advice! Platnum multi tipped plugs just don't work in older cars. I
don't know why but have tried them many times and have always gone back to
plain plugs that are on sale!

Re: '91' XJ: plug recommendations?
When I installed my rebuilt engine in my 88 XJ, I went with Bosch Platinums
(single side tip IIRC) in it.
I have had no problems in the 5-6 years and about 30K miles.
It is time to change them and I will probably go with regular copper plugs,
Autolites maybe (IIRC someone recommended them in a truck version).
I wish my mileage was over 20mpg, but with a rack on the top, a cargo
carrier on the receiver hitch, larger than original tires on it, and a lead
foot I just don't get max. mileage! lol

Re: '91' XJ: plug recommendations?
Someone recommended Autolite 985's to me. I've bought the Champions before I
was just hoping someone would say there was something better out there.

Re: '91' XJ: plug recommendations?
I've tried Bosh platinum's in my 90 Cherokee 4.0. and they foul just enough
to reduce my performance although it still runs smoothly. I'm going back
to champion's although I find it hard to six with matching resistance.
