I've got an '99 Taurus with the overhead valve engine. The computer
at the pars store listed several different plugs that would fit.

Which spark plugs are the best for this application?

Thanks.

The best would be the motorcraft double platinums. AWSF32EE or PP if
I remember correctly.Autolite APP764, is the same plug.

Actually, NGK double plats are also OK - I believe they are a "second

manufactured by NGK)

I've had too many bad O2 sensors and other "bosch" parts, and their
