The car really likes the AC Delco copper plugs.

I installed them after I ruined the Pulstars with Amsoil Powerfoam.

You guys were absolutely right. Just wanted to say that.

I already learned a long time ago that these guys know what they are talking about and all we gotta do is listen.

I installed the Pulstars six days or so after I bought the 928.

They worked very well, and work superbly in my XC70.

Powerfoam ruined them, which caused me to convert to OEM (or the like) sooner than I expected. Nonetheless, copper plugs are the answer.

I'm one of those guys? What does that mean?

you should use the Bosch copper tips they are 1.99 a piece and should work very well in your engine.

I think you're "one of those guys" now

I'm one of those guys? What does that mean?

Following the threads it seems to have been aimed at MPDano.
None the less good luck with your car

I mean, MP has bought a very neglected car, completely rebuilt it his way, and somehow gotten it licensed in Kalifornia. I'm finding myself hunting through his posts trying to learn stuff. Merlin's already a wizard. Maleficio will be there soon. Just needs to buy and refurbish a couple more of them to solidify techniques. (BTW, I had to rescue a 928 yesterday on sandridge island)

We should partner up. I'll be your apprentice.

I'd love to start doing heavy maintenance and learning how to make these cars monsters.

Bosch Copper 78-84
7506 / 999 170 062 90
Item :WR8DC
Unit Price : $2.50

This was taken from 928 Intl. Pelican probably sells them too. It also looks like for the 16V's. 32Vers can chime in on this one.
