| well most would argue that you cant go past manufacturers spec genuine parts when selecting new parts. You arent going to gain any amount of power worth bragging about by using different brands of plugs. Just make sure you have the right heat range for the engine and i am sure genuine spec will perform best. After all, they are paying guys good money to do the research and find out what works best when they design these things |

Ford spare parts can get...
At work today (first day too) I looked up the NGK Iridiums, there around $22.00 each (retail price), which is a very good price in my opinion (the price I get is far better but anyways), considering that they are one of the best plugs around and they are designed to last 100,000km. Only problem is we don't stock them so I'll order them in on Monday and let yas know once there in how they go on L.P.G..
Daniel, according to the spark plug manufactures, Platnum and Iridium are the beast spark plugs for improved performance. Iridium is ment to be better than Platnum and as far as I know NGK are the main manufacturer of Iridium plugs aty the moment. Personally I prefer NGK plugs, dunno why just do.
The part number for the NGKs for the NL V8 Fairlanes (presume FBT is the same? might wanna check or something) are:
| Quote: | Recommended Plug BPR5FS-15 1.4
Iridium Option UR55IX 1.4 |

As you modify your engine the the plug needs to be changed as well.
on the EGO sensor part, at full throttle the EGO sensor is ignored by the ECU. and fixed fuel and spark maps are used. |
Ahh. I didn't realise that you knew all about plugs and engines and the like. I meant no disrespect... |
