Spark Plugs
I am unable to find what spark plugs are in my 8.1 I know they would be AC plugs but I would like to use NGK. If some one can tell me the numbers I sure would be great full. Thank You

NGK equivalent for a AC Delco 41-101 is NGK 7164
NGK IX Iridium/Spark Plug (7164) | AutoZone.com
Or you can a set of (8) AC Delco 41-101 from Oemy for $52

I have a set of Iridium plugs (AC) from Brazel's RV Performance.

For what it's worth I've never had any good luck with using anything other than the OEM spark plugs that came with the vehicle originally.
Just a thought.

Something must be wrong with my OEM Workhorse sparkplugs and wires. They are nine years old, and have around 47K miles on them, without a missfire. I still get 7.6 mpg (last tank) in the motorhome, and it runs as well now as it did the day I drove it home from the dealer. I have been carrying a set of the older AC sparkplugs, (don't remember the designation number) purchased from Omey's in the onboard parts toolbox. I may have to spray them with some WD-40 to prevent rusting. What is Iridium?

Iridium is simply explained as; the God given right to charge folks too much for spark plugs and have them enjoy it while they're paying for it.

Good one .
My OEMs (in a 454) are still doing fine at 42K miles. I was going to replace them a couple years ago but someone on this site had a saying in their signature 'If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.' So, with these words of warning in mind I left it as is.

Iridium is space dust caused by exploding meteorites. Probably not enough on earth to make a set of sparkplugs . Tony
