Has anyone installed pulstar plugs to their Mark VIII? Do you it's safe to installed? I saw a commercial about these spark plugs.. It's expensive... $25 each plug...

Looks to be similar to the nology wires concept. I would say that it's total crap! Save your money and use the Ford recomended OEM Platinum plug. A bunch of plugs have came and went over the years, where are they at now?

If they are so good.... why is the suggestion to use the Autolites everytime...

Those who have been racing the Mark are the ones making the suggestions on the Autolites... you'd think they'd have enough experience.

I stick with motorcrafts. If you're going to see gain, it's not going to be from expensive spark plugs...

Even if they do give you any gain it wont be noticeable, just put the 200 towards a wet kit.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! NEVER USE ANY BOSCH PLUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
i used them in my 97 bird as well and it ran good until one decided to fall apart and drop into the cyl at 80mph. i got "lucky" i pulled the head and removed the piece holding the valve open and all was ok, but that was alot of work that could of been avoided if i just used motorcraft plugs

yup, i see lots of cars coming into work with those damn plugs falling apart, one blew the porcelain out of the metal part, with it still hooked up to the wire, and the guy drove it in like this, needless to say it melted through all kinds of stuff as it was firing away

" You mean you guys don't use Champion" ;)

I always heard that Champions are closest to Mopar.




Those Bosch plugs ran like CRAP in my turbo coupe. A set of properly gapped motorcrafts ran like it should have. I use what the vehicle calls for! It is there for a reason.

I'm pretty tired of these pseudoperformance parts on the market. You want your car to go fast? You do real mods, gears, stall, exhaust, power adder, etc.

Wow... I guess they have to cut cost somehow... and remember they now have a life time power train warranty. Hmmmm why would they need that?:confused:
