What kind of plugs do you's recommend for a 1996 GT? How often should plugs be changed? Thanks!

Since no one has replied, I guess I'll jump in...

My personal opinion on spark plugs is that as long as you stay away from "gimmicky" plugs like split-fires and gap them correctly, you should be just fine in near-stock applications. Bosch, Champion and Autolite are all good plugs. I have read that platinum plugs last a bit longer, so it is going to be a personal preference.

To be honest, there are better things that you can change on a 96 to improve performance. The stock spark plugs/ignition are far from the weakest link on a stock or near-stock 4.6.

Just my 2 cents...
