I use standard Autolites. They were recommended by a mechanic friend who said they lasted longer than anything else when he was running a smallblock powered stock car. He knows more about SBCs than anyone I have ever met, so I take his word for it. No problems in 4 years of running them.

What ever you use, don't use Champion or Bosch.

Autolites,NGK's, and ACdelco are all good spark plugs.
