You can use 60 G's if you like but I use Kennedy's quick heats, works for me.

60G's last longer, are cooler, take longer to heat, can cause long-start, white smoke in cooler climes - require longer glow duration, usually via manual intervention.

Quick-heats exceed combustion temps quickly, makes for easier starting, smoother running, better driveability in those same climes

how long do the quick heats last on average? About the same as injectors?

My quick heats lasted 9 months, and i am now having hard starting in mid-40's temps. When they were fresh i could start easily unplugged in single digit temps, now it struggles when its 15° above freezing. Im putting AC60G's in today.

Depends on whose quick heats you get - only one brand was tested for longevity on TDP against 60G's - that brand is on Turbine Doc's truck, iirc.

Some of the others are quick heat\quick fail

Well I'll be...$7.99 out there in "higher than a cat's back" California? They are $9.99 at AutoZone where I'm at in bumfuzz midwest. Go figure. It's probably because we need them more.

60 G's run around the $20 mark (each) up here....I have found them as 'cheap' as around $12 each.....
