autolite 765 copper-stock
NGK tr5 or 55s- stock
or stock motorcraft

do not go for anything that sounds good..like platinum or double platinum. $10 a plug for nothing.....

i run NGKs in my car now and used to run autolites. i run a colder plug though. unless you have f/i or nitrous use stock

for nitrous in the stang go copper one step colder than stock (2 if you cant get any timing pulled) iridium plugs do good with nitrous too in the right heat range just stay away from platinum
