I have a 95 F-150 4x4 WITH A 351 and I plan to give it a tune up this spring. Just wondering what brand of spark plug, plug wire, cap and rotor that you prefer for a tune up?

I am considering for plugs: Bosch or Motorcraft

How well does BORG WARNER stack up in quality with MOTORCRAFT for plug wires, cap and rotor? I am willing to pay more and am mainly concerned about quality and something that will be durable enough for a some time.

I went to LMCtruck.com but it seems to be like a JCWhitney. I did send for a catalog so thanks for the tip but I didn't see anywhere (maybe because its new to me) for advice on spark plugs

Well I don't know how much "better" the MSD is by comparison, but my coil cracked and rather than buy a brand I never even heard of, I figured the Blaster coil is only $50 so wht not. I can tell you that I've had my truck about a year and it's running the best I've seen since I got it.

MSD has made wire and accessories for some time, I'l have to take a look.
I'm also considering Motorcraft. I'm not positive on which plug from Motorcraft would be best. Possibly the basic Platinum. I was surprised to see the plug wires cost more than I thought they would but I am more concerned about quality and Motorcraft only makes one kind of wire.
