.. spark plug recommendation ? ..

Autolites are now Chinese-made trash. Champions are American-made trash. I have consistently good results with NGK number ZFR5N, see here.
no adverse affect running with a MSD digital 6? I know that you cant (aren't supposed to) run platinum or split-type plugs with the MSD. I run Bosch Platinum in my stock vehicles and have never had problems. Even ran Autolite platinums but that was at least 10 years ago...
