67 truck... what sparkplugs you guys running?

[bguild]

Okay well I am finally getting my 67 truck road worthy.. My issue is that its been sitting for years..it actually drive decent but I was planning on replacing some of the stuff I dont know the history of. right now I hit the gas and there is a lag before i actually go anywhere. Not bad but a little.. I assume i need the carb adjusted some but my thought is that I would replace the plugs and wires.

Truck is as follows.
1967 chevy c10 shortbed.
350 engine HEI with TH-350 trans. 600 Edlebrock carb No cam that I know of. I will be adding Headman headers and Edelbrock intake. Nothing crazy just a cruiser.

Also what engine oil do you guys run? Synthetic or what? I am the do it right type person so I just want to make sure to get this thing mechanically sound so I can engine it.

any help for a rookie would be appreciated.

Hey there. You can't go wrong with a good set of AC Delco or Autolite plugs, not a big fan of the gimmick plugs. Also check your vaccum advance on the distributor to see if it is cracked/blown. Synthetic oil is priced right around here, almost the same as conventional oil. Good luck with your truck, enjoy it and don't try to overthink everything.

What weight are you running for oil? I might pick up those plugs tonight. Thanks
I also will check the vaccum advance thanks guys.. Learning as I go.

I run plain autolite plugs and conventional oil then use a zinc additive to help protect my cam. Most of this new oil and plugs is definitely a gimmick to me.

BUT I live in the desert, where it gets really hot this time of year. It's 103 today and that's considered COOL for this time of year.

In a less extreme climate 5W-30 is more common.

I know its wierd but I tried Bosch DP plugs and a new set of Belden wires and Im getting some of the best ignition Ive ever had. Delco plugs are made by NGK, so save some $ if thats the way you want to roll.

Delcos, all the way!
