Help - Advice Needed

I tried to search out a few threads on spark plugs to use but there was too much info to sort through.

I currently have no mods (I have only had the car for 3 weeks... im getting there) and 32k miles. I am wondering what are the best plugs to use in that situation. The car idles a bit irregularly so I want to get this taken care of ASAP.

Thanks and sorry for the newbie question.

The Good Rev.

Run the stock NGK's. 9's all around would be good.

The stock plugs will work just fine. NGK 7' for the leading (bottom 2 plugs), and 9's for the trailing (top 2 plugs).

Edit: I wouldn't go with 9's just because they burn colder, so startup could be a bit rough in the winter, especially where you live in maryland, it gets cold there right?

yes he is not modded, all 9's doesn't seem like the right answer here, he wants a smooth running car, so new BURP9EQ and BURP7EQ would be sufficient

you need two of each

Thanks for the quick help... I was reading the "How-to" on http://www.scuderiaciriani.com and it seems everyone likes to attack these things from the bottom, yet all the entries are from the top. If I access them from underneath do I need to remove anything? If you can point me to a thread that illustrates this already (so you dont have to type it) that would be great.

Furthermore, at 32k (and the assumption the previous owner never changed the wires) is it reasonable to change the wires while im at it?

Thanks again
