[V8] Car won't start/ conclusion

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

I don't get this Ron.

AFAIK, H7DC0 is in fact the specified OEM plug. It is what I am using now and 
it has been in the low teens here and I have had no problems. In fact, my car 
has been running great lately.
I don't know what plug you ended up with - and if it works then great but this 
sounds strange.

btw, I have used super cheap champions (can't remember the number but cost was 
under $2 per plug) and they seemed to work fine. When I tried a Bosch +4 plug I 
had problems with hard starts.
