Re: spark plugs

Yeah, I sure would like a bowl of ice cream,oh, you mean about the oh ok oh oh. Now I am with you. I don't see any reason why not. Has someone told you that you could not run that plug in there? The only difference between the two would be the gap as far as I would think. I would open the gap up for sure on them before installing the HEI. I just don't see any other thing keeping it from working like you need it to. Jim [Oh yea, sorry 0.45 gap]

Re: spark plugs

The R46ts is a hot plug but should work good unless you are using it for severe service.
Like Hugger says increase the gap to .045.

Re: spark plugs

Check your ground tab on the coil. Easy to not hook up, no spark, no happiness!
