While doing some seaches on spark plugs and several people are happy with the JMM autolites which I think are P/N 985. I found they suit the DodgeR/T Viper V10 mtr. Is the plug JMM uses that P/N if so that would be why it performs well. Plus I might get a set.

I dont think its just a matter of "it fits a viper so its going to be the best" otherwise we would all be using the same plugs they use in ferrari's. Its simple a matter of the temperature rating of the plug, the gap, the intensity of the spark, and alot of trial and error on jim mocks part.
And yes I believe it is the exact same plug they use in the Viper from Autolite.

I have them in mine, they work well enough. I would go as far as to say that they certainly havent caused any power loss thats for sure.

The NGk iridium plugs have been in for about 70,000Kms in my VCT mtr & I was thinking of what to use next that is cheaper & works well on the mtr. My son tried the NGK iridium plugs on his VL turbo ran ok until he used the high low switch for boost it started to missfire, he change back to the normal NGK plugs & the miss was gone at boost so even though they ran fine in my 6 the iridium plugs must be not that suitable for turbo's. buickman |

ive run NGK iridiums on my 6 and they worked very very well. Id probably argue that 100,000 from the plug is a bit optimistic but a decent product none the less.

Personally I had bought a set of ngk iridiums and my car went disgustingly slower .Then the new iridium NGK went straight into the garbage bin.

They are OK they work I have an old set you can try if you want but I wouldn't stress about plugs too much just good stock plugs for an AUII will be fine. |
