R45TS for tapered seat heads, (5/8 socket sized) or R45 for the washer seat plugs (13/16 socket size). Set timing to about 6-8 degrees after TDC with advance un hooked and it will run like a singer sewing machine.

Re: spark plug for 72 w/hei
just a thought....if you have aftermarket headers you may want to think about accel shorty spark plugs for clearance!!!

Re: spark plug for 72 w/hei
I use R45TS gapped at .045" , timing at 12-before in my 402 with HEI and Heddman Elite headers. I don't have any clearance issues and it runs like a top.

Re: spark plug for 72 w/hei
I just converted over from points and have R45ts .050 gap. @15* Idles very smooth. R44ts @.045fouled, R45ts' @ .050 are doing better.
