Anyone know what the correct plugs are for a 351C/4V? I looked in a couple of places and got conflicting info. Most data says Autolite AP24 and this is what I bought. (one said AP24 for 4V and AP25 for 2V for '71) The twist is the the car is a '71, but the heads are '70 4V (quench) heads. One source listed different plugs for '70 versus '71. Any idea which plugs I need?

AF-32 Motorcraft is the best plug for your application. They are available at most FoMoCo dealers and Wal-Mart beleive it or not. Alex------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator Fleet of FoMoCo's too long to list!

Interesting. AF-32 is listed for the 302. You're saying that's the best option for a 351C/4V with '70 closed heads?The shop manuals list ARF-42 for '71, I don't have shop manuals for '70. All the online info says AP-24 for '71/4V and AP-25 for '71/2V and '70 2V and 4V (which seem skind of strange)

I see one of my engine books lists AF-42 AF-32 AF-22for the 351-C as options with the list getting colder (in heat range) as you go down. It also lists RF-32 for the Boss 302 for the street and RF-22 (one step colder) for the strip. AF-32 it is! Thanks for the tip!

Went to Wal-Mart the other day. No Motorcraft, but Autolite, I assume that is the same thing. No AF-32, everything was either just the number or AP-## (for platnium). Nothing with the number 32.

If you cannot get them e-mail me 71mach. We have them in stock. I carry all FoMoCo HP engine application Motorcraft spark plugs as they are normally difficult to obtain from regular sources.

By the way, ASF-32 (surpressor) or ARF-32 (resistor) will also work. Alex------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator Fleet of FoMoCo's too long to list! http://superstockers.homestead.com/week.html
