Buying TR6 Plugs

If you need TR6 plugs... just tell the auto parts store it is for an 03 Cobra.

No more answering questions to nosey vatozone employees.

Your welcome

I'm fortunate to live by three shops that specialize in Camaros/Firebirds/Corvettes/GTOs so getting TR6 plugs isn't a problem.

I just give them the part number 4177 and ask for 8. If they feel the need to look up stuff, I alway tell them took up parts for a 1983 vette or a 1962 mustang .

Do you ask the guys at autozone for TR6 plugs and they know what your talking about? What is so special about these plugs?

Dirt cheap and a little colder for n20 guys.

Ya, I hate how the guy always gives me a stupid look. The dumbass knows where the spark plugs are, and the box says tr6 on the side. How hard is it?

Re: Buying TR6 Plugs

The unfortunate part of it is that most autoparts counter people only know how to read a computer. No longer is there a requirement to actually know anything about cars or even identify a part that you carry in. You give them the make & model, they give you what it says. I've had to ask numerous times for a catalog to look parts up myself.

As for the NGK's, Advance Auto did not have a catalog & no internet access either. I had to go home to look up the stock number. Then they proceeded to tell me I had to drive back in & pay for the parts before they would special order them for me.....

I would not be too sure about the Cobra interchange at all stores either. Most only list the platinum plugs for newer cars that were factory equipped.

The 4177 is a stock number & is the means to identify many parts. Kind of stupid that this number is not shown on a plug..... I now buy 24 at a time so I'm sure to have them on hand.
