Which spark plugs?
I`ve been told that the proper plug for a 2000 SSEi is an AC Delco 41-101 and an AC Delco 41-121. Which one is the proper one?

Stock AC Delco 41-101 should be fine. NGK are not bad. Avoid Bosch. I'd stick with stock wires, most aftermarkets I've had have been poor quality.kennyz wrote:I`ve been told that the proper plug for a 2000 SSEi is an AC Delco 41-101 and an AC Delco 41-121. Which one is the proper one?

Re: Which spark plugs?
In my experience, standard style plugs are less prone to fouling. It also seems to me that a lot of extra ground strap like that would tend to shield the spark from the fuel and create a bit of a disturbance in the propagation of the flame front.

Re: Which spark plugs?
Use Iridium for longevity. Avoid platinum, as it doesn't work in waste-spark style ignition systems.
