what plugs would be best for a 95 continental i have been told that i need double platinum i think is it beast to buy them from ford just wondering

So my point is, why not use the Motorcraft's like they call for since you will not realize any significant performance increase with any other plug? That way you know you have the correct plug installed.

The stock Motocraft plugs they call for are double platinum, so you really can't get any better anyway. I think some people are wondering if they can use something cheaper.

I agree with that too. I had an '89 LX 5.0 that ran mid 12's with perfect street manners. I had the AFR 165 heads on it. I ran Autolites in it only because that is the plug that AFR recommended.

I had an '89 LX 5.0 at one point also. Don't you miss the ease of working on that Fox body?

Oh Boy Howdy!! What a pleasure to work on AND make horsepower with!

Of course, I have an 04 Cobra now...so making horsepower is REALLY simple with that! Software and pulleys baby! Just don't try and put a set of headers on it. That will open up a whole other world with your vocabulary! LOL But that car is very weird when it comes to exhaust. A cat back is worth decent hp...and a new mid pipe can help too. But until you get to around 700 rwhp, headers just don't do much...if anything. I remember one guy telling me he got between 15 and 20 hp out of them on his 600 hp Cobra. Well, that's not very much on that much hp...especially for the price you have to pay for a good set of Kooks.
