Hey all,
My (stock) 98 GT has been in storage for about 2 years. It was running and driving fine when parked but i'm putting her back on thed road this week with a new battery and oil change. want to change the plugs also as i know the plugs can develop some rust and condensation after sitting. since i've been out of the mod motor scene for a while, what are the best plugs (i do a lot of stop & go driving) for the car?
any and all replies appreciated!

I would try using just the Ford Motorcraft ones. I have used all of the expensive ones but the stock ones seem to work the best.

Get the stock heat range motorcraft ones in copper(AGSF-32C). Stay away from autolite because they are half thread design plugs.

the autolite 103's are a full threaded plug. i used to use them all the time. n/a id gap to about 45 and change them about every 15 k miles since their so cheap. if it was a sc car id do about 32
