Spark plugs and serpentine belt recommendations

jason10mm · 12-06-2004, 12:04 PM

My car has recently developed some belt whine (funny how it didn't do that until I got my oil changed....) so it is about time to replace the serpentine belt. Any recommendations? I was going to get the gatorback.

Might as well do the spark plugs while I have the hood up (58K and original plugs), any recommendations? I was going to try NKG or autolite copper ones for grins.

I'm hoping for some improved gas mileage, a less wheezy ignition sound, maybe even a small performance boost from the new belt.

Gatorback for the belt, and NKG 1-step colder than stock coppers for the plugs.

For the spark plugs you might check out brisk racing.. www.briskusa.com They show some good HP improvements.... But they are not cheap...

2 step motorcraft colder plugs are better, only place is 5 star ford, but you could also use the new lightn truck plugs also

If he's N/A, theres no need for colder plugs.

Heres a list of plugs and part numbers to consider.
(All stock heat range and copper)

Motorcraft = AWSF-32C

NGK = TR-55

Autolight = 764s

Denso = IT16
