Just make sure that the leading and the trailing are in the right places or you will get a lot of missfire.

Trailing and leading are different styles of plugs, they even have different p#'s I believe. Trailing plugs are a one step hotter plug. Put the trailings in the top spark plug holes, leading in the lower.
