Have a feeling that after 25 years and 114K miles I shouldn’t put it off any longer and it will not get any easier. Probably bought parts twice and just forgot. Will try to get it out the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I ca't imagine the factory plugs went 114k. If they did; holy shit! Being that you bought Motorcraft wires you probably aren't gonna cheap out on other stuff and you can't go wrong with OE Motorcraft plugs. There's a good chance that there's something to gain by using iridiums, but I've never tried them in that motor so I don't know. The few I've tinkered with respond well to advancing the timing over spec, I've done 4 degrees over on a few with no ill effects, the MPG and power both rise. Since it's a tweak you'll wanna listen for detonation just in case, but I haven't had any do it. If you have emissions testing you'll probably have to drop it back to within 2 degrees of spec to pass the visual inspection, if your state does that.

RXX Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 I’ve had the truck since ‘96 and no, the plugs haven’t been changed. I put 1 set of tires on it during that big Ford tire recall. A/C hasn’t worked in 20 years, both window regulators are shot, and no windshield wipers. It is used as a trash hauler mainly. Long bed free trucks are not cheap to come by, so I owe it to her to tune her up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The wires will probably be pretty stuck to the plugs, but since you're replacing both it won't matter what it takes to get them off. Blast around the plugs with compressed air before pulling them out, there's bound to be a fair bit of junk around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
