It's really just a matter of preference. Grim is right, it's best to read the stickies and come to your own conclusion. I swear by headman, but from the most part I have noticed most people here utilize hooker.

I see what you are saying. either way, when you swap headers out it makes it easier to actually see the plugs sticking out of the block. usualy then you can even get them with an closed end box wrench. Sometimes the header tube runs too close to the plug and an open end box wrench is the only way. At least you won't have to get the plugs from under the car anymore!!

хорошее везение!!!

I thought that way, tried Iridium's (cost me like $100 for spark plugs ). My car ran AWFUL!!! Switched in the old run-of-the-mill AC Delco's, car ran way better. What a drag, $100 wasted on plugs.

Btw, I run Edelbrock headers. No problems with them at all. Fit good, no leaks, etc. I just make sure I run copperseal gaskets, no blown out gaskets for me thank you. 1 blow out per side was enough to make me buy the copperseals.

No one should get those plugs... unless of course you know nothing about cars and like having a light wallet.
