The best would come from International or Ford, but also the most expensive.

AC Delco are good, usually repackaged original equipment. And less expensive than Ford or IH. Check Rockauto.com, they have good prices and a selection.

After 21 years and 186,000 miles I'm on #2...what the heck, when I get some time I'll change it out.
