Spark plug question

How much of a difference is it going to make if I change my plugs?? I don't know the last time they were changed but it wouldn't hurt to change them would it? Would I pick up a 10th or 2???

If the spark plugs are worn or misgapped then a new correctly gapped set of plugs will help the engine to run better. Oh, and if your using bosch plugs then chaning them out will also help power (sorry, had to say it after all the trouble I had with them)

The only thing it would hurt would be the wallet. The good 'ol Delco plugs i use are the .99c ones. They're cheap. They work. I'm happy.
