Normally, a thorough flogging is in order. We'll just move it to the correct forum instead, this time.... Great to have you aboard!

The same flogging is generally used for run-on sentences, as well.

But, yes, AC Delco 60g's are generally standard practice for replacements.

Do you know how to test plugs for "general" health?

EDIT: Oh, I did a couple quick google searches for the numbers you posted. Some of the results seem to indicate that they might be 60g's, others say no. But, you gotta take all that with a grain of salt since you never quite know what to expect on the internet. Best bet might be to call a local GM dealer.

Well, your questions, and the replies, can apply equally to either, so you get a pass.... Again! Drat! We haven't had a good ol' flogging in a while....

I won't go into too much detail now, unless you'd like more info - it sounds like you probably have a good idea of how to test.

But, two of the more common ways are using a test light to the spade or a ohm meter between the spade and casing (look for approx .8 to 1.4 ohms... NOT "K" ohms).

flogging, also called whipping or caning, a beating administered with a whip or rod, with blows commonly directed to the person’s back.
