so I went to my local NAPA store and was looking at different NGK Iridium plugs told the counter girl I wanted the 6's she gave me the 5's didn't find out till I got home .. 1/2 hour drive back. However I was wondering, can these plugs be ran, my stockers(I have bought 3 sets) seem to foul to the point they no longer work after about 2-3 days of barely driveing(I have like 200mi on my CA after the rebuild) I noticed after searching that most people go to a colder plug. I am not sure that would help my situtation any.

thanks for any feed back.

Very hot plug! That's for the N/A engines, so don't install them. Get only 6s or 7s....

not sure really, can't get a good idle will steady out for a bit then drop to 460 or so, revs like it's choking. not much power on boost (running an SR T25) I am thinking VAC leak, seems to be running rich.. like really rich, I have an A/F gauge but that is not much help it says I am running stoch. I had plugged in the Secondary butterflies(vac line only) I didn't know there was silenoids and stuff, I had a clip but must have over looked that part.
