Spark Plugs and New heads

The head manufacturer mentions this on their website.

Spark Plug Suggested Starting Range only, C57C

Is this a specific spark plug?

I am not positive but I believe that that plug will fit in the dart pro 1 heads. It can be cross referenced to about 3 other plugs and is not specific.Im pretty sure that was one of my options when getting plugs.

A C57C is a racing only plug. Do not use on the street.
it is WAY too cold and will foul in a short time.
Find out what type of plug your heads use and get
a set in a streetable heat range.

I would start with a Champion RC12YC for this motor.
With pro action aluminum 23 deg heads.
Be sure to put a little antiseize on the plug threads before
installing them. Gap them @ .035"/.040"
