Re: Where to find best price for AC Delco Rapidfire plugs?

whats the difference between the ACDelco Rapid fire plugs and the ACDelco Platinum Plugs? What would you use? around here the platinum plugs are $6 each.. never check on the price of the rapid fires

Adair

Rapid fires aren't platinum:

they have a multiple split end conductor, kind of like a rapid fire type of plug.

This makes for better combustion and better flame propagation in the combustion chamber, supposedly?

I question that,

I've used em' in everything for the past ten years or so and LOVE them. I'd never feed my beastie anything else. Last a good while for non-platinum plugs (last set went almost 30k).

Doc

They did change the design, no longer a split tip. Not sure if they work as well now.

Cheers

arn't you confusing rapid fire's with split fires? looking at the delco website doesn't give much info but by the picture a rapid fire is nothing like a split fire. my question was more pointed in the main difference between an ACDelco Platinum plug and a ACDelco Rapid fire and which one would be recommended over the other and way.. anyone wanna point out the best plug wires to use also.. I'm about to do a plug/wire change.

Adair

Rapidfire's seem to give a getter burn, better lowend oomph. I've used Bosh Platinum and didnt notice a difference (thats the main selling point of the rapidfire), although the Platinums should last longer , the Rapidfire seem to be the better plug.

Cheers

No doubt they are a good plug!

Better than Split Fires and Accels, because they're AC's. But the theory behind the multiple fires just metal erosion, but they do get them to last for a non-platinum. I agree fully. Let Auto-sputter, I mean Auto-Lite try that, and to think I was an Auto-Lite Junkie for years?

My sincere apologies!

I did mean Split Fires.

We all make mistakes, I've resolved myself to making more than the average human being!

Sorry again.

Hell, I used to be a BOSCH junkie! How pathetic is that? Useless pieces of s*it they are .

The place has been like a morgue without you. But. Doc came up with a good one every once in a while to bet a chuckle from us.
