I have recently purchased a 1985 F150 4x4. I'm in the process of going thru the truck and fixing all the here's and there's that have been neglected over the years. Its definitely not one for restoring, but, its still in decent shape. So far i've done the battery, alternator, voltage regulator, thermostat, radiator, heater core, all belts, radio, some wiring, and a deep-deep cleaning. Its has the 351w and C6 combo. The truck has an HEI distributor installed on it from the previous owner. Also has a Holley 600 on it. I'm getting ready to do the plugs and wires now. I was just curious what you guys might recommend.

 

I would definently go for motorcraft. The part for yours is the sp415. The wires I would also go motorcraft. You can easily get these at Orielly for alot cheaper than the dealer.

 

With these older ones you can use most anything. But "newer" ones like my 94 exploder can be picky . So for similarity i stick with motorcraft or autolite.

 

What do you guys recommend gaping them at?

 

Most plugs that you get for your truck will come ore gaped but just in case you want them at .044 inches.
