 | I would honestly put a new set of plugs in it due to the fact that you were running rich. The plugs could be fouled, changing them might improve it more.

| i hope that the regulator was the problems because changing the plugs on this one sucks its just a few cylinders that really are not fun due to sensors in the way or tucked under manifold i cut the time down to an hour first time i did the plugs i swear it took me three hours i never know what plugs to use any suggestions? |

| the best ones for your engine would be your standard AC-DELCO plugs. look at the emissions sticker to see what they should be gapped to and you should be fine.

| remeber pregapped plugs are not always gapped the same so double check all of the plugs before you install them

| AC_DELCO are a GM standard plug. It doesn't make them better than NGK. As long as you don't put autolite plugs in it you will be fine. Use whatever plugs you desire. I have no idea what the oil weight has anthing to do with it.
