There are many possibilities with a no start, we need some specifics to help. Does the car crank but not start? If that's the case, verify you have fuel pressure and spark first. Do you have access to diagnostic equipment at all? A noid light to verify injector pulse would be very helpful.

Autolite 23 is the plug of choice from everyone I talked to or read from old posts.

I like the NGK spark plugs, UR5 is what i like and gap them to .032

The more boost you run, the colder the plug you will use.

If there is anything you need for your car, please check this board first, searching here will save you alot of headaches and $$$

Buy yourself a Scanmaster and read up. There's not really a lot you can do if you don't know what's going on with the car

Go to GnTType.org, GnTType.org Web Site and read all the basic info, including the "spring cleaning". Use the search feature here, to find the postings on anything you get confused about. Then come back, and ask more, and we will probably confuse you more.
