$51.00 for Iridium?

I got mine from ronayers.com last time. I think they were less than $7 a piece plus $7 or $8 for shipping. I'll have to dig up the receipt.

But anyways, it's good to get all your other maintenance items at the same time to save some shipping money. I usually get oil filters and air filters from them at the same time. They've got some good prices on the stuff.

I was looking at my last invoice (Sept 8, 2003) from ronayers.com and the last price I paid for the iridium plugs were $7.06 each. Guess inflation caused them to go up nearly a dollar apiece :???: .

Yeah, the CR9EHIX-9 plugs are cheaper than the 9A-9H plugs.

I just learned the difference the other day on the Sparkplug.com web site. The CR9EHIX-9 has an iridium center electrode and a conventional side electrode. The 9A-9H has an iridium center and a platinum side electrode. (I'm going from memory here, but I think that's right.)

I have no idea if it really makes any difference, but I think I'll spring for the 9A-9H plugs next time I change mine.

Man, what a pain to find something on this site, you have to know to look up the Cylinder Head and then the Spark Plug is listed as one of the parts of the head.
