I have a non turbo 89 RX-7 13b. I was told that the spark plugs are supose to look diffrenet, or have some sort of differnt collering on them. Mine are all the same is that bad or what? I also orderd some plug wires for the car and they where cheap like under 20 US $ is that bad too?

the plugs look different than "normal" piston engine plugs. $20 for a wire set is a good deal

it is the heat range of the plug. The higher the number, the "colder" the plug is. This allows it to run in hot engines without melting.
