It's a 95 W engine. 270k miles. Runs strong but not as smooth as it could. No huge stumbles once warmed up and cold stumbles are more tranny. It's a very good van and engine and I want to make her happy and maybe get a little more oomph and mpg.
Shes a white cargo work van, Her name is Chester.
Are these what I want? They're really cheap for platinum plugs, but they're AC Delco Platinums. That's what I read that the W engines like.

What is the correct gap for these
I also wanted to swap out the stock coil with a new MSD Blaster GM type and some plug wires.
What are some good plug wires to get. Is AC Delco the GM OE for most of this stuff or is there a few diff OE brands.
What about a MSD 6a type CDI ignition on her?
Basically, how good is the stock performance on this machine. I am used to mazda rotaries, not GM's.
I've never even taken off the dog house on her before. I'm kinda anxious to work on her as shes a stout little workhorse. I've become a huge fan of these vans after having my own instead of being passenger
Shocks are blown, was looking at the Bilstein HD's and some air bags for towing. I carry around a fair bit of tools and pipe, and would like to use it as a trailer (without most of the tools) as well.
I would really love to be able ot tow a car to the race track with spare tires and bits and have a mobile race van, my van matchs my racecar too
Are the Bilsteins good enough for some light to moderate work (trailers about 1000-1400, cars around 2600-2700 with liwuids)
Id def put in the airbags before towing the car around
Oh crap, I'm getting off topic now, hehe.
Alright, thanks guys. Seems like a helpful nice forum so far :ty:
