However, with a V-8, that was $32 a set. A set would last about 5,000 miles.

60,000 miles divided by 5,000 miles = 12 sets @ $32/set = $384.

Plus and additional labor costs (or time) of changing them 11 additional times.

Now, before someone jumps in about the difficulty of changing the plugs in a twin ...... just try to get to the right rear spark plug on a 1956 Ford V-8.

So, do the math and consider yourself ....... saving money ......
