I dont think that botch plugs are that bad, now they dont always make each plug the same quality cuz ive found a few duds, but we use botch plugs in the family mini van and that thing runs better then it did with the champ plugs. Dont get me wrong i do like champ plugs i think they are great cuz they last forever but i would rather have a good set of botch plugs. Oh and the van has had those plugs in it for about 5 years and 80,000 miles.

I personally will only run NGK plugs, they've served me well over the years. I have probably 50,000 miles on a set in the F-250, and I run them in the '79 with good results so far.

ngk standards are $1.88 ea, AC Delco's are $1.98 ea. but you gotta have platinum for that jeep, that's what its designed for, and champ's come in at a very very competitive $2.98 ea....

For the record, Bosch silber (silver) plugs work better than anything in my BMW. The platinums are terrible for that car, but they work well in newer BMW's. It all depends on the car I guess.
