That depends.   Are you talking about a Pantera?   In that case, platinum 
plugs are at best a waste of money, and at worst an opportunity to get some 
walking exercise in as little as 50 miles.

Platinum plugs work great in an engine that is precisely controlled via 
modern fuel injection.   Carburetors are at best an 80% solution to the combustion 
problem, and the mixture is almost never ideal.   Platinum plugs reportedly 
foul under such conditions.

Standard plugs are the way to go--and as a bonus, they're cheaper too!
