Chevy c10 spark plugs..
 
Hi all. Ive got 68 c10 with a mid 70's 400ci chevy motor. It was already fitted, it has edelbrook performer heads and inlet fitted. Im looking to buy spark plugs and every 400 ci engine listed i can find seems to take shorty reach plugs. The one fitted are autolite 3926 which have .750 reach..could this be because of the heads being changed or is there a year they where fitted. Im in the uk so limited information thanks in advance

Edelbrock's recommended spark plugs for their heads are Champion RC12YC or equivalent 14mm x 3/4" reach with flat gasket seat. Plugs should be gapped to 0.045" for HEI and 0.035" for points.

Agreed with 68 P.O.S....correct on all points....

Standard Chevy 400 heads do take shorty plugs, however, Edelbrock use the 3/4" reach flat seat style.
