Default Spark plugs Stang'02

Hello,

What kind of spark plugs do you recomend me for my stang?

In the past, I used Iridiium spark plugs, and the result was good.

What is the grade of calibration for spark plugs?

best regards

Do a search on this site for "spark plugs" - you will find lots of good info. Bottom line - go with stock plugs unless you have more than bolt-ons. At least that was my take away

Assuming your 2002 had normal mileage (say 75k+) I would recommend either the stock or 1 range cooler Motorcraft copper cores.

Yup definitely go with a copper core, avoid platinum at all costs, the NGK TR-5's (V-Power copper core) are Great for normally aspirated and the TR-6 for Blown applications.. and the Motorcaft copper are also fine for a stock 02 GT.
