I know sparkplugs have been discussed a thousand times, but I am looking for something a little more application specific.
Bone stock 440-6 in a '69 RR with an automatic. Not taken to the strip, I just like cruising around in it. I have RJ12YC's in it now, not sure I like them. They look OK so far, though the car runs a little rich and I think I can do better with plug selection. Timing is "mainstream" at 18 initial and 36 full, I do not have any detonation signs.
As a side comment, I have two 383's that I switched to the hotter RJ14YC's with excellent results (cleaner smell out the tail, hold up well when driving around, nice tan color).
What do you all run in a pure stock, street only, 440-6????

Autolite 84's or 85's are ok.
I haven't tried the new ones made in china but the older ones, US made work great for me. If you look around you can still find some.
