AC-Delco R45TS gaped at .035 are stock and what I have always used, and its called a"Thermostat" and I'm running a 180*.It is about the best all around temp.(there are other things to take into consideration like fan switch temps,etc. but overall I think a 180* gives the best of both worlds.)

Re: spark plug recomendation

will you have the car for more than 2 years?

if so, then what ever platinum plugs are on sale for $2.99 each will work just swell

If not, then what ever copper plugs are on sale for $1.79-$1.99 each will also work just swell
