I have a question about plugs.
Went to the local O'reilly looking for AC--MR43LTS plugs. They said oh yeah we carry them, they are $4.99 a piece. I thought that was a little pricey, but then again everything for this boat is a little pricey.
Got home pull the plug out of the box and they a labeled ACDelco 8. 8 is the only # on the plug. I plan on taking them back and just ordering the correct plugs online, but has anyone ran into this before, and does anyone have a clue as to what these plugs are for? Just wondering if Delco changed the numbers on the plug or am I just the victim of another intelligent O'reilly clerk or bad computer system.

That would be my thought. Probably one row off on the shelf. May even miss his mouth when eating.

Those #8 plugs you got are the Platinum version of the AC MR43LTS you requested. They are a direct replacement but more costly than regular plugs.

That being said ALWAYS check parts before you leave the parts desk. When I was wrenching, I often found parts that were used, broken, dirty, or completely wrong in the box. Saves alot of time opening the box and looking before you leave.
