Trailing....not trailing edge or trailers.
Leading....not leaders.

Depending on your mods, is dependent upon what spark plugs. I used to run 8's and 9's, but after going single, have gone to 9's X 4.

Running all 4 plugs the same (like the heat range of the trailing plugs) can be done. There are many threads on the subject here on the forum which have been debated to death.

Most people seem to agree that unless the car is very modified or running on a track, running the heat range of the trailing plugs in the leading position will only cause them to foul sooner with just normal street driving.
