What tune-up parts to use?

What plugs,wires, etc are by far the best to use in a 98 F150 4x4 4.6? Any help here? Also what to gap the plugs too?

Me I do the 1/2 to 3/8, then 3/8 to 1/4 adapter.

You need to divide the Tq setting by the sq root of pi, then take the second deriviative of that result to set the wrench value.....

Or at least that is the next setting I am going to try, once I get my truck back from the dealer, for the 18th case of spark plugs flying out of it

Actually it is Port

Taylor Falgate 20 yr Tawny to be exact.

Not a ruby person myself.

Best followed by a dbl espresso or a cup of French Press coffee.
With type works fine with Segafredo Zanni rubusto coffee.
