I know this topic pops up occasionally, and I have researched the archives but......... what plugs should I use on my 1970 C3 350?
The plugs fitted are NGK R BPR4FS, they have a taper seat as opposed to the normal crush washer. My concern is that I think plugs with tapered seats weren't used until 1971. My C3 is numbers matching so original engine, I presume.
The 1970 Corvette Owners Manual states R44 or R45 for the Base (300HP). Is it referring to AC Delco plugs? There must be more technologically advanced plugs these days that can be used without any ill effects. My main concern is do I have taper seat plugs fitted when the engine isn't designed for taper plugs? Ho hum
