Heh heh, might want to replace your plugs more often than once every three decades.

I hear ya. I just bought the car and am giving it a "once over". Needs everything; brakes, suspension, full tune-up, tires.... I will do most of it myself but the plugs I let my mechanic do as I knew it would be hell.

Hmmm! Does it have the Chevy Trailblazer 5-cylinder transplant?

While many say use AC and other plan plugs or copper plugs...
Use something a better w/ anti rust shells because of above.

Even after 3-5 years... Front of V6 and #1 Plug on L4 often have large problems w/ rust because "Water" attacks thru vents and front of deck lid. Worse if deck lid has gone thru recall that removes the rubber that kept out a lot of "water" and other trash.

Don't use "Gimmick" that claim a lot of BS.

Last I did front plugs on a V6 was in 2006 in my 86SE, may have been sitting in there 20 years. Wouldn’t want that now on some that could have been in there almost 40 years! Wow. What you posted looks about right lol.
