479 is a hotter plug than the 459. 98 and newer use the 479. earlier Fords use the 459, including the 97 Modulars in the 150's. Also the tips are supposedly different in design

thanks my 99 expedition 5.4 calls for the sp479 and the 97 f150 5.4 calls for the sp459. Wanted to make sure I put right ones in, hopefully this will help with fuel mileage
