Product Details

NGK’s V-Power line is positioned as an OE-style spark plug family for dependable ignition service in a wide range of domestic and import applications. This plug uses a copper core for efficient heat transfer, nickel electrode materials for durable spark delivery, and a standard single-ground configuration to support consistent combustion. The tapered seat and specified gap make it a direct-service choice for vehicles that require this exact plug design. Part number 7060 is also identified as TR5-1 in NGK references.

Compatible With 1983-1990 Ford Escort, 1983-1990 Ford Mustang, and 1985-1988 Ford Ranger applications listed in the fitment data. It also matches 1986-1987 Ford Aerostar and 1984 Ford Thunderbird service needs where the specified plug design is required. This part cross-references Champion Spark Plug 407 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by worn or fouled spark plugs
• Rough idle from inconsistent spark delivery
• Misfire concerns tied to aged ignition components
• Reduced throttle response from degraded plug performance
• Maintenance replacement on older Ford and Mercury engines
