Everyone's fav spark plugs/wires/etc.?
 

What does everyone like to use the most in their Jeep? I hear stories from
people saying that the OEM plugs are the best, others swear by whatever the
populat platinum plugs are. Others love Splitfires, and yet more people
claim they are damaging to use because of burning holes in cylinders.

A list I was on for Chevy Caprice 9C1 (police) cars everyone unanimously
agreed that the stock AC Delco was the best plug to stay with, for price,
power, and longevity. Everything else was sweared at and disparaged.

How about replacement cap, rotor, wires, and coil? I'd want wires that were
good for keeping noise out of my 2-way radios and was also considering a
coil upgrade with an Accel coil or maybe an MSD setup.

Hi Shawn,
I don't think you can beat the stock Champion RC12LYC gapped at
..035". Buy the ignition wire pliers and give them a twist to break them
loose before you pull and you'll probably save them. Spitfires are a
gimmick, electricity travels the path of least resistance. Only if you
buy the wrong electrode extended plug do you risk burning a hole in the
piston.

Personally, I have had nothing but bad luck with Champion plugs. Everything
that I own gets Autolite plugs, especially anything that has had engine
modifications to it. I know a lot of people use Champion plugs, but I won't
even put one in my lawn mower. As far as wires, either stock
replacement,NAPA premium or MSD. The NAPA wires have a lifetime warranty,
even if they burn through on a header tube. Stay away from the Accel "crimp
your own" kits. They are junk.

That was true thirty years ago when Ford dropped them in favor of
their own Autolites. I would say their quality control is back for these
last ten years. I personal use AC or Motorcraft, depending on which I'm
putting them in a Chevy or Ford.
