Platinums are a 2.3T NO-NO! They wont last!
Tank,just get the stock AWSF32C motorcraft plugs($.99), or the NGK plugs TR5-22($1.99)and gap em at .030-.034.

I had to close my gap down to .030 (AWSF32C plugs) to keep them firing under 20 psi boost. If you want to experiment, start at .030, and be sure you dont get any missing at high RPM and boost. Regap to .032, and try it again. If it is still OK, keep going up in .002 increments until you get a miss, and then drop them back .002. Generally, the wider the gap, the better if you dont get any missing. Every engine seems to be a little different as to what gap it likes best.

Autolite 764 plugs are basically the same as motorcraft AWSF32C.
