still gets 30 mpg on the highway...lol

"Conventional" plug will work. For awhile. They wear quicker than the Platinum or Iridium plugs, and they require more voltage to fire. If you don't have problems with oil burning or leaking injectors that would tend to foul the plugs, you'd do well to buy longer-lasting plugs to begin with. "Platinum" (single-Platinum) plugs only work properly in vehicles that have a distributor, or that have coil-per-cylinder ignition. On vehicles with paired cylinders and waste-spark ignition, (three "coil packs" and six cylinders, for example) half the spark plugs fire in the normal polarity, the other half fire in reverse polarity. For the cylinders firing in reverse polarity, the single-Platinum speck welded to the plug is on the wrong electrode to do any good. Thus the need for Dual Platinum (or dual Iridium) plugs on a waste-spark ignition system--no matter which cylinder they get installed in, there's a Platinum (or Iridium) speck on the correct electrode. You get all the benefits of a fine-wire center electrode including low firing voltage, plus the benefits of the precious-metal lump including long service life (if the plug doesn't foul or otherwise get contaminated.)

well couldn't stand it, I ordered a 3.4 pulley. Film in a few weeks..lol

I gave this car to my son for his 16th birthday, a low mileage example at 75k. In October of 21 he pulled into the roadway and had the front end hit at the left bumper end, impact snapped the bumper off, bent hood, both fenders, fender skirts, snapped the top dog bone engine mounts and just generally made a mess if there is any frame damage I am assuming it is only the rail ends where the bumper attached. Car still runs, is able to move under its own power, but due to cooling fans being broken I will only run it for very short periods. Is this car repairable? Parts sources? Volunteers to restore her? I am in northeast coastal SC. Thanks for advice and direction. I am unable to post a pic for clarification, sorry.
