An NGK -10 is pretty cold.
No hotter than a -9, IMO.
So, keep an eye on them when running and adjust accordingly.
If you run the -10, tune the idle and pit driving to avoid loading them up too much.

I run the Champion C59CX in mine,was told by Indy the 59 would be better than the 57 in my engine on alcohol. Next time I order I think I will get a set of each 57 & 59 to try.
I have not run the Autolite's yet but the cross over from the C59CX is AR3933.

do you need to run a hotter plug with alcohol ?

Indy says the C59CX plug was the best for both alcohol and gas. I also had thought that with alcohol a colder plug would be best and I think I may just try it and see this year.I will only be out a couple of $$$ to put a set in and make a pass to see which is best. I have been having to order the plugs from Indy,but was told @ Advance they could order the plugs for me. Unlike most I don't have a problem with Indy but Advance is only a couple of miles up the road and no min. or shipping charges.
