Question Spark Plug Question

Spark Plugs? What is it used for?
How much do they go for & would the Bosch spark plugs good enough for the car?? Do they have different sizes??

um.....wow......spark plugs are used to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Look into some BUR7EQ's for the leading and some BUR9EQ's for the trailing. They are made by NGK. You will find them at your local napa store.

what is a spark plug?

sorry but i have to jump in here ..son ..if you have no idea what a spark plug is thenyou should not have a car of this type...unless you back to school.(basic mechanics) you will find your cupboard empty because these cars require attention and if you don't know what it is,where it is,how it works and how it can be fixed i can predict that you are going to be playin with dynamite near a bonfire.I am not inferring anything... just letting you know what you are gettin yourself into..straight up...man to man

spark plugs are just a myth perpetuated by the auto companies to sell more parts............You don't need 'em
