Does anyone know what size spark plug socket fits a 1985 LTD?
Is it some special motorcycle wrench or just regular socket?
Also, what kind of spark plug is recommended?

i didnt know the gap I was told they were stock gapped by the guy at Autozone THANKS!! That just goes to show you what most of these guys really know.His statement is totally false,as the plug is made for more than one engine.I've heard that same statement from a lot of different people for a lot of years.  |
