General rule for plugs, Stock range is for iron heads and no power adder - Autolite 3925, One range colder would be for either aluminum heads or a power adder, not both - Autolite 3924, and Two ranges colder for both aluminum heads and a power adder - Autolite 3923. Gapping for power adders is as said smaller than stock to help prevent spark blow out.

Thanks..
That explaination is fairly straight forward and Crystal Clear!

Vib told me today, the 39xx are for ALum heads, and for my Stock heads, I need the REGULAR 24's by Autolite.

The Mnf chart says 25's, and one step colder would be 24's.

I think Vib is right on this, I had a brain fart I guess , the iron head plugs are the 25 - stock, 24 - iron plus power adder, gapping according to the power adder. Sorry about that...

Spark Plug Brands- Conversion Question

I pulled off the spark plugs today, and they were NGK brand. The type was NGK R UR5

Does anyone know what the AUTOLITE equivalent is?
Im guessing it is the Autolite 25, since that is the MNF recommended one for my car.

Running good so far, and it seems strange, but it actually looks like the ECT may be running a little lower.
