Good quality spark plugs

One of the most important components of your car are the spark plugs. Many of us do not realise the important role that the spark plugs play in the the smooth running of our cars. I once tried to save money by insisting on some cheap brand spark plugs when I had my car serviced. It was OK for a while but after a few months the acceleration became poor, my fuel mileage went down drastically and I knew something was definitely wrong when there were rough vibrations while idling.

I took the car back to the garage and as I had suspected, the spark plugs were fouled. After changing the spark plugs to the brand and type recommended by the manufacturer, I felt like I was driving a completely new car.

There are several popular brands out there and the market but among the most popular are the NGK spark plugs. They are considered the leaders in spark plug technology. If you are in the US and looking for NGK spark plugs for your vehicle, visit the JEGS online store. They have a huge range of NGK spark plugs as well as other popular brands including Bosch, Champion and AC Delco among others. The prices are reasonable and they offer same day shipping.

1968½ MUSTANG 428 COBRA JET

From the era of glorious muscle-car excess comes the 428 Cobra Jet. Introduced in April of 1968, the 428 CJ was the brainchild of Robert F. Tasca, an infl uential Ford dealer from Rhode Island. It was a drag-race winner from its fi rst event (the NHRA Winternationals, in February 1968) and is still winning NHRA Stock and Super Stock races today. And it’s been a legend on the street since day one. After recording a 13.6-second quarter mile at 107 mph in a test of a Cobra Jet prototype, Hot Rod magazine proclaimed it “probably the fastest regular-production sedan ever built.” Under the ram-air hood was a 428-cubic-inch V-8 whose special features included low-rise heads patterned after the 427, a variant of the Police Interceptor intake, and a Holley four-barrel. Ford rated the engine at a demure 335 hp, but the true fi gure was somewhere north of 400 hp. Power front disc brakes, a nine-inch rear end, and a heavy-duty suspension helped round out the package, which was o ered on all three body styles.

Honorable mention goes to the ’69 Mach 1 with the Super Cobra Jet option and Shaker hood, as it is in our opinion the best-looking Mustang ever and an equal performer to the ’68 1/2.

Bullitt (1968): Bullitt’s iconic chase scene lasts eight minutes and shows a Steve McQueen–helmed ’68 GT390 and a ’68 Dodge Charger R/T hammering across San Francisco. McQueen bounces off parked cars,

catches air, and generally wreaks steely-eyed, burnout-ridden havoc. Type “coolest movie chase” into

MOVIES YouTube, and this is what you get. — SS
