Jay,
As with many things, I think you'll have to experiment and decide for yourself
- I think most of what you've heard regarding plugs is anecdotal with
conclusions based on personal conviction. Use the expensive plug, use the
less expensive ones and see what you learn!!! A little empirical curiosity
never hurts.

runs on all six)
69 C GT (like a CA car - looks good but doesn't really do anything regardless
of plug type)
69 B Rdst (Still working on it!!!!!)

Jay-
I use the Bosch Platinum plugs in my B. Don't know if they help much,
but they do seem to resist fouling, and wear a little better.
As for Splitfires, the manufacturer just settled a suit brought by the
FTC, wherein the companies management agreed to retract claims of
improved performance, due to a lack of imperical test data.
We would all probably do just fine using good old Chanpion plugs.
