Perfectionist advice requested. 200 1983

Given that the Bosch ignition system (and I suppose the Chrysler one too)
will deliver more than enough electricity to ignite pump fuel, IMO up
rated plug wires are a waste of money. The Bougicord (the OEM) wires I
got from IPD (and are available from most every Volvo parts house) work
great and apparently tend to last for a while.

Platinum plugs also strike me as a waste of money. Why? Copper is the
better conductor of electricity, copper is cheaper, and copper works
extremely well for a spark plug. I haven't heard too many good things
about platinum plugs (especially the Bosch ones), but I've heard plenty of
bad to awful things (again, especially about the Bosch ones). Why spend
the $$? NGK makes a great plug, for great money. Hey if copper is good
enough for an OE plug on a rotary engine and *most* forced induction
engines, who am I to say different?
