Like the title says - brass or steel? My motor has brass right now, and that is the way I'm leaning.
Are the LT1 plugs the same as SBC stuff (like so many other items are)? |

I prefer brass-don't rust. Never had a leak with brass, only had a couple leak with steel and it was pinholes from rust. Do it right and forget it.

+1 for brass. I've been using them since day one, and that was 30 years ago......
