First we need to know what heads you are running? Also knowing your compression ratio may help you choose a plug temp to start?

There are numerous sites that have some useful info (here are a couple):

18mm thread. My last set I used Autolite 45 (heat range 5) on an Mallory ignition. Compression was 9.5 to 1. It's best to read your spark plug after running it.
