            I have Autolite in the S10 and Autolite platinum in the Lincoln. I used to change the truck every year, anymore its whenever i get around to it. Car has about 20k on the current plugs, and when I checked them a few weeks ago they looked OK. They'll be due soon but I'm changing heads so they will run till that happens.

              Scott, I've had no problems with my Bosch platinum plugs. What happened when you used them?

                They pinged like a bitch in my S10, and the Beetle ran poorly with them. The Beetle lived on Bosch Super plugs and ran fantastic but it just didn't like those platinum plugs.

                  I've ran Bosch Platinum's in both my stock 302's with 0 problems.Actually made my Vic's engine run smoother,compared to the regular autolites.
