    Depends on the application. AC 43 or AC 44 is a good place to start.

    yeah, make sure they are gasket plugs, not taper seat.

    No. Just plain 'ok r43. TS stands for taper seat, you need gasketed.

  8. If you've got a choice, you might want to start out with a cooler heat range. Your final choice is going to depend on the rest of your build, your fuel system, tune-up and how the vehicle is driven.

    This will give you an idea of what you're looking for.

    It’s think the 44s are out of production, unless you look for NOS , I have R45S in my 327 with camel humps . Either way the R43S or R45S is right where you start .

    I use # 303 autolite..
    Pretty cold plug.
    They are resistor plugs.
    Readily available at oreilleys, autozone, napa.
    They are catalog plugs for international V/8 trucks..
