I've been to 3 different ford dealers and 2 auto parts places and they all come up with SP-487 as the motorcraft spark plugs for the svtf....i even gave them the sp-463 part number and nothing.......then i gave them the old part number (the long number).....and still sp-487 was popping up....did the # change again?[dunno] .....if any of the ford parts guys on here can look this up for me it would be great!

we use the SP-463 cuz we like copper. these plugs have no home in any Ford vehicle. thats why many dealerships must order them.

the parts guy will get the sp-487 cuz he thinks you want replacement platinum plugs, not some copper plugs some forum guys told you to get.

advance auto can get the 463's

thank you thank you thank you.....advance was the first place i tried and got sp487....but i didn't ask them to try sp463....i'll have to ask them......the ford dealers want $17 per plug for the sp487.....thats insane!!...the dealers didn't really wanna try and find the sp463 plugs for me......again i'll keep searching and thank you

just an update.....i just called advance auto parts and they are overnighting 4 plugs for me.....they had that number in there system.....i'm relieved now....

glad i could be of service[thumb]

the 487's are expensive cuz they are platinums and you'll prolly not need any new ones for the life of the car depending on your mileage

can you get a rep for the help???....if so..how can i get you one?

You could always get with Mike at Hilbish Ford (Sponsor here if im not mistaken) and get a great deal on those Coppers....

lol, click on the scales underneath my avatar[thumb]

done!!!!............i think?

lol, good job.

make sure to gap those plugs to .060[thumb]

thanks again........i will!!

lol, good job.

make sure to gap those plugs to .060[thumb]

.60 and NO higher i did that, car ran like crap and smelled like rotten eggs. lol

mine are currently at .062 if i remember correctly; but i have FRPP wires....

mine ran at .065 for a while but that was at the last bit of the spark plug's life and the copper was almost down to nothing.

but i would never purposely gap them more than .060. i have taylors now. maybe ill see how far i can go with them, dunno

ur car smelled like rotten eggs cuz it was dumping raw fuel onto the converter. raw fuel coming from the cylinders that werent firing.

I just got my motorcraft sp-463 from massive speed, 14bucks for a set,, i bought two
