Spark plug questions
So I have a 90' fc with a 13b in it and I was wondering how to change the spark plugs and which ones I need.
I went to autozone and they asked if I needed the trailing ones or the leading ones, and I had no idea so I ended up with 2 leading ones. When I got home come to find out it has 4 spark plugs.
I saw a video on youtube and they said the top 2 are the trailing and the bottom 2 are the leading. Is this true?
Thanks in advance

welcome to the board.
yes. there are a total of 4 spark plugs: 2 leading and 2 trailing. trailing plugs are generally a little colder, plus they should have the "T' on the box. get NGK plugs, even if they have to be ordered.
... and yes, correct: Trailing = Top and Leading = Bottom.

2 of the BUR7EQ (leading plugs,lower holes)
2 of the BUR9EQ.Trailing Plugs,TOP holes)
those are Ngk brand plugs,standard for 13 engines.
Tip.Leading is L..Lower..
Trailing is TOP ..T
easy peasy huh?

The letter is the easiest way to remember:
T = Top = Trailing
L = Lower = Leading
This link explains the spark plug choices pretty well:

T = Top = Trailing
