I'm in, just for fun. But a guy with an '82, a '93 and a '99 Valk oughta be sending me used plugs!

I hope Earl does shoot us an address. As a strictly frivolous exercise, I hope he gets a pile of old plugs!

Way to jump on the bandwagon! This is to send plugs to Earl43P!

Never fails! You say the word "Free" and it starts a feeding frenzy!

First time since last Winter you had to use a cage, my heart really bleeds for you bro. I've been 4 wheel driving on snow/ice for two months now, and still a few more to go.

If you do switch to Iridiums, be sure to use the the Snap-On Tools Solid Platinum Spark Plug Socket Kit, specially designed to be used on Iridium Plugs. You will get better Starts, Idleing, Acceleration, and Fuel Mileage if you use the tool. It is Snap-On P/N BG-BUKS-2500, it is only $2500.00 for the kit, but they do have it on sale for $2490.00 from time to time. Plus Tax of course.

Seriously, I am a fan of Iridiums, if the pocket book can handle to cost, it is the way to go IMHO.

Hope your Wx gets better and your back on two wheels real soon.
