If they are typical stock Chevy iron heads around 1989-ish, then you
will run this size plug:
14mm thread
11.6mm (0.460") reach
with a tapered seat.
In that case I would start out with an Autolite 24
for break-in and initial tuning.
For WOT tuning and full 1/4 mile passes on the motor I would switch to
Autolite 144
For a power-adder that gives less than a 25% power increase, I would use an Autolite AR12.
If you are going to be using a power-adder that gives over a 25% power increase, then you might want to consider switching to Autolite AR135 plugs.
For long-reach or gasket-seat plugs the part numbers will all be different from what I listed above.
Re: Spark Plug Help
They are as you described, a stock iron 350 head.. I'll try and pull casting numbers tomorrow. Compression ratio should be between 9:1 to 9.5:1..
There won't be any power adders on this motor and it will only be very occasionally used for 1/4 mile passes. Thanks for the help.
