why would you want to reuse them(though you can) since new ones are like $1.50 a piece, its worth it for the piece of mind, same with the oil galley plugs, I dont personally reccomend reusing either, since it is possible to nick them on removal(though probably hard to nick them to any degree thats going to make a difference)

I always do, but any autoparts store should sell them, they are all the same cheap galvanized steel

Buy brass one's. The factory galvanized one's are thin and corrode too easy. You can only get the brass plugs through a parts house like NAPA.

What size and year of motor? Prob 1.39's but I'd like to be sure. The parts store may not list them by car, so the next best way is by size of the plug.

The heads are pn 4556020, same 1.25" plug chrysler has used for 50 years. The block plugs are 1.39" p/n 6034804 cost about .35 cents they started showing in 1995, and fit Jeep 3.7L, 4.7L and even shows used on a V-10.
