Spark plugs
Hey everybody. I want to change the plugs in my '67 but would like some opinions first. Right now, I'm running copper ACDelco R43TS plugs. My engine is set at 12* BTDC. The compression ratio is somewhere between 9-9.5:1. The engine is a 350 originally out of an '84 Chevy van. It's all stock with the exception of headers, Thumpr cam, flat-top pistons w/2 valve reliefs, and aftermarket heads. It runs great, but seems to miss sometimes and usually diesels when I shut it off. I read that I might need to go down 1-2 heat ranges. Anybody know for sure? What would be the best type of plug to use? ACDelco coppers again? Recommended gap? Thanks.
