I am putting in msd coil packs and 9 mm ford racing wires along with NGK Iridium IX Performance Spark Plugs. Are these good spark plugs or should i go ford racing ones because my car only has bolt ons. I am also having them clean out the imrc at the same time . I was thinking of replacing the alternator as well with a chrome one. It is a Powermaster Alternator - 200 Amp Chrome (anyone have experience with these?). What else should i do at the same time as this that would be a good upgrade or maintainence at the same time? Any help would be appreciated
What else should i do

What is the miles on the car? I run just autolite coppers in mine but thats me. use to mess around with the higher end ones didnt see money being spent well. Have a short throw? also whats your budget and goals for the car?
Check the belt & the tensioner.
How long has it been since the radiator was flushed..........
Check the battery cables, especially the positive one, even if you have the felt pad or terminal grease, I had corrosion seep into the cable about 4 inches under the insulation, car would start but could not go over 3mph as it was totally screwing with my electrical system.

From what most advise on this forum the OEM coil packs are superior to MSD also TR6's or 764 for plugs.The FRPP 9MM wires are the best for our cars.Spend your cash on an O/R Xpipe or short throw shifter if you don't have them already.

Ya i have short throw and full exhaust already. Just did belt and tensioners . I have every bolt on possible and 3 73s but want to keep it up and running mint All i am doing is all the preventative maintenance i can so it runs great So why no on the coil packs because they are highly reviewed on am. And sorry whats are 764s and tr 6s.

764s and tr 6s are spark plugs recommended by respected members on this forum.Check out these posts about MSD coil packs and Iridium and Platinum plugs.

post #2 is from one of the top most modular engine gurus.

This one recommends best spark plug and the reason why most choose copper plugs over platinum or Iridium plugs.
I'm not trying to discourage you on buying stuff.I almost bought both those items and a cold air intake but my research here and on other forums concluded none were worth it.

cool man i definitely appreciate it as I know you guys know ur stuff compared to some of the knuckleheads who "feel" huge differences in power after installing anything on american muscle.
after reading threads ty for the advice stock it is
I had the MSD coil packs on my 98 when I first got it and I was missing a lot under WOT. I switched back to OEM and haven't had any problems since. I would advise against the MSD.
Nice and would the ford motorsport plugs be good too or the 764's for sure
