I decided to get NGK plugs instead of Autolites just to try them and see how I like them. I slapped the fresh set in yesterday and today was so nice in Md I took the 63 for a cruise. Running great and I hope to get to the track in the next month or two. Seems alot of people like the NGK's so I thought I would give them a try. They cross referenced the Autolite AR3935's I was using with the EZ heads. Ron

I use NGKR5671A-10 FOR MY Edelbrock RPM's 76 cc 12.7.1 comp. They are the hottest none projected tip they do. I think the 35 is the Autolite equivalent. Mick

Does the NGK have the cut back electrode like the Autolite & Champion?

I've run NGK's for years Ron......wouldn't use anything else anymore. R5671a-8's I beleive. I learned my lesson years ago when riding dirt bikes etc.....put ANYTHING but an NGK in your ride, and chances are you're gonna be looking for a ride home!!!
The Autolites that Indy told me to run crossed over to R5671A-7. Of course I cant feel no difference but it is running very good. As long as it goes as fast with them I will be happy. Course a little faster never hurts. Ron

No they have a v grove.
Thanks!
With a full length electrode wouldn't the plugs need to be index? That is one of the reason's I have always like the cut back electrode no need to index the plugs.I guess my next question would be is a plug with a full length electrode as good as one with a cut back electrode in a Race engine? These are only questions,I try & never pass up a chance to learn more on anything that is related to a race engine.
I have never indexed mine when I ran the standard Autolites. I really think its a waste of time for a street car like mine as I have never heard of anyone really going much if any faster with indexing. Its more a pain in the butt to me with marking and shimming the plugs. A few are tuff enough to get at without that hassle. If I get back to the track I will get an idea of how they work compared to the short strap racing Autolite plugs. Ron

I tried the 7's and the 9's but found they fouled too easy, no problems with the 10's though. I do have more comp than you though Ron. Mick

Ron Ive run Autolites since the 60s.We userd NGKs at work and they always seemed to work.Put a set in my 440 with 12.5 domes and Dominator.The Autolites seemed to miss after a while.NGKs have been in for 3 years at least.Still runs great and its street driven for the most.I pull them and they still look good.Rocky

Thanks for the replies. I have been told the 7's are hotter the the 8's , 9's and on up with NGK. In other words the lower # the hotter plug with NGK's ? Ron
That is correct.
