Id stick with the regular delcos. Sometimes platinum plugs in a car not designed for them can cause drivability issues.

Stick with regular AC delccos. Try a few searches for plugs. There are a trillion posts out there. I better get my boots on for this thread. It could get deep in here.

Get a set of AC Delco R45TS plugs. I run them in my camaro with good luck. Haven't had a problem.

I run the R45TS line in mine. No problems. Delcos just seem to "work" better for lots of people on this site.
