i honestly just want to know which plugs are the absolute best ones that i could possibly use for this old motor, it’s a 1990 2.9l auto 4wd. not afraid to shell out a little extra just want to know which ones are the best of the best for this lil v6💪🏼💯
 
Single platinum or iridium tip will last longer

Motorcraft AWSF-42C was spec and tend to work best
Gap at 0.044"
 
Motocraft AWSF42P. Platinum version of original plug, can be found ridiculously cheap on eBay:

 
Just run the motorcraft copper cores. The ignition on these trucks arent "hot" enough to make any good use of anything fancier then that.

You can run quadruple platnium 4 electrode magic dust whatever whatever, wont hurt nothing but your wallet.

LMFAOO had a great laugh soon as i woke up😭😭thanks for your knowledge bro
 
The advantage to platinum or iridium is in longevity. If they're not hard to get to, then copper is just fine. If the job is a pain and you'd rather not repeat it for the rest of the truck's life, consider spending a few extra dollars.
 
Expensive ones. I have more trouble trying to save money with plugs then I care to admit to.
 
motor craft SP (486 or 419). run these for a long time.
