just curious, what part# are the AC Delcos that you put in?

When i search for AC delco plugs to my 1997 Blazer 4.3 Vortec, 41-913 platinum plugs are recommended. Could i still use CR43TS to save a little money?

If i search for plugs for the same car but 1995 model CR43TS are recommended. Is there something changed in the engine configuration between 95 & 97?

Thanks,

Thanks, but on my sticker it just says the gap should be 0.60.
