I have a 1984 245 (Wagon), auto trans, 180,000 miles. I'm gonna replace the
plugs, wondered if anyone had recommendations on a really good brand/type
for this model.

I have had best luck in many cars with NGK copper core plugs, or the ones
with the "v" electrode, I have not had good luck with high end bosh plugs.

I'll second that, good old basic NGK plugs, they just work, anything fancy
is a gimmick.

I like the Volvo OEM plugs. The last time I bought them from Toyota Volvo
Keene the price was competitive with aftermarket plugs and they came ready
to go, gapped correctly, etc.

Work like a charm.
