Spotted AC Delco Rapidfire sparkplugs for $1.00 at Wal-Mart

**GnatGoSplat** · 11-02-2002, 11:01 PM

I think Wal-Mart is no longer going to carry AC Delco (bummer).
However, I noticed the Super Wal-Mart has Rapidfire plugs on clearance for $1.00/pk (2 per pack). So $3.00 gets you a full set of Rapidfires.
The catch is my Wal-Mart only had #3 and #14. These were in a special clearance isle close to the pet supplies and pharmacy area.
#14 is the plug for 3800 Series I and 3800 Series II engines. I need #8's... if you can get #8's at your local Wal-mart and need some #14's, I'll gladly go get some and swap ya.

Yeah, they did that at my Walmart about 3-4 months ago. Then they stopped carrying all ACdelco stuff now, including oil filters. That sucked.

yeah now i have to go to C.A.P. to buy over priced AC DELCO oil filters. Seems like FRAM is wanting to start a monolpoly buy signing some contract with wal-mart to carry fram S H I T only.

I think you ment [size=24px]FRAM SHIT ONLY!!![/size]

I hate Fram......

what type of rapid fires would i need in a 2.8 engine???

**eclipse5302** · 11-04-2002, 08:46 PM

I hate fram shit too. When it comes to filters, AC and K&N are all I use.

You can just call the dealer, they will tell you the correct plug to use.

You need Rapidfire #8's. That's the correct plug for 2.8/3.1/3.4 including TGP. At least that's what it says on the AC Delco site.

I don't buy FRAM either. I wish Wal-mart still carried AC Delco, their prices were very reasonable on the Delco filters and plugs.

i thought it was #6?
guess i was wrong

You'll find that Wal-mart Super Tech filters and AC-Delco are very similar if not the same, both are made by Champion Labs.

I guess AC Delco must have gone cheap and contracted with Champion labs to make their filters. The AC Delco's I used to get at Wal-Mart had the anti-drainback valve close to the opening and were truly a unique design. They were like the ones in the minimopar oil filter study.

I've been using SuperTech though, because I know they're Champion filters which are a pretty good filter. Much better than Fram!
