Spark plugs for my 428?
By John - 10/16/2005 8:59:54 PM; IP 142.177.93.69
I have been using Champion RF9YC plugs in my 428. Engine is 9.5:1 CR, 4X2 Carbs, headers into dual side exhaust, and according to Crane's computer profiling, can put out 480 Hp (I dont' think so, but maybe...). Anyway, the plugs slowly took on a nice tan colour, but by 3500 miles started to misfire the odd time, although some serious acceleration would clear the plugs. Plugs now have a gray coating over the center insulator which I can pick off with a fingernail. Should I go a couple sizes colder? Maybe a RF7YC? Oh...I use 91 Octane pump gas.

Also, please no dumping on Champion...they have always worked fine for me. Besides..... for those of you who insist on AC Delco, the AC stands for Albert Champion.
This thread, so far...
