I just picked up a 98 camaro with 81k on it. The car is all original. What is my best choice of plugs for it?

AC Delco Iridium plugs are O.E. ( I know that suprised me as well when I went ot go buy them for my car) I have used Bosch +4's and they are ****, AC's will work just fine.

yesum sir! and its a 96!! 41-101. as stated in advance Auto Parts computer, they are O.E. I think they are saying that now becuase our cars tend to get a code pop up now and then, the imfamous random/multiple misfire code, I could only guess they are saying thats the O.E. now to prevent that from coming up. I would get it quite often with platinum plugs. the down side is they are 6.50 a pop, but compared to my bosch's, it was a little smoother at idle, and acceleration. Oh and I believe they discontinued the former part number for our spark plugs, and are directing us to these ones now for AC Delco
