Best Spark plugs for 270 Crusaders

Post by AndyF32 »

I have 1990 Crusaders that need the plugs and wires replaced. Looking for opinions on which plugs run best in these engines.
Thanks

MR43T AC Delco. Marine spark plug. Don't use automotive plugs. The threaded casing will rust and could break off in cylinder head. Seen it many times...

Thanks! Gap is .030 I assume. Any preference on wires?

Try Crusader part number, 97454 for the wires.

Thanks for all the info. I think I will spray some penetrating oil on the plugs that are in there now before I try to remove them. I was not aware of that corrosion issue with some plugs.
