Title: HOT Plugs
Post by: Chevynut on January 19, 2006, 07:14:00 am

I could use some Hotter than normal spark plugs for my '73 350/350.  I've looked at local parts houses but with no luck.  Anybody know where I can get some?

Thank ya,
Chevynut

Any good auto parts store can order them. I like NAPA, they pay their workers more than $3.00 an hour....they know what they are talking about and can order anything.

It is confusing when trying to figure out the hot plug numbers.  Each make of plug uses different numbering systems....it'll make you go insane if you put any order to it.   On champion plugs, if you ask for a truck plug, it is usually hotter than stock.  There was a type I used that were black in color...i just dont remember the number.

Also if you ask at advance for heavy duty its most likely a hotter plug.

On the following site, I used the Champion truck plug 4113.  This was when I had my old worn out motor and the hot plug kept my plugs from fouling.  It was great burning the oil deposits away.
