    That is correct. They are made by NGK too. It just says Delco.

    Information on New Spark Plugs and Gapping #03-06-04-060 - (10/24/2003)

    A new spark plug has been released for use in the above vehicles. The new spark plug has an Iridium tip instead of the current Platinum tip. Due to the different tip design, the gap of the spark plug has also changed. The new spark plug, P/N 12571164 with AC Delco P/N 41-985, is gapped to 1.01mm (0.040 inches) when the spark plug is made. The spark plug gap is set during manufacturing and should not be changed or damage to the spark plug may result. Any new spark plug found to not be properly gapped should not be used.



    [Word is they are re-badged NGK Iridiums]

    Service Intervals I've checked for cars fitted with these say "change at 100k miles"........don't think I'd leave them that long personally.

    They are NGK plugs just tagged AC-D. NGK is moving back to being the majority supplier to GM for plugs and possibly NTK for O2 sensors.

    Do these plugs, the AC Delcos, require a metric plug wrench? If so, what size please?
