Just wondering what plugs you guys are using with a 351c with closed chamber heads and flat top pistons? I have tried NGK R5674-7 and Motorcraft 42's. The Motorcrafts seem to burn a little hotter as they look alot cleaner when removed.

I run NGK -6's with that kind of compression on gas. The -7's are too cold. I run those when it is on alchohol.

AF-22 or ASF-22 Motorcrafts. The power tip will keep them clean and the heat range is better suited for your compression and high RPM use. ------------------

Question about motorcraft plugs. What is the difference in an ASF42C and an ASF52C? Is the first number the heat range on the motorcraft plugs? I know most are the last. Well NGK and Autolite. I dont dare use the other names!!

The first number is the heat range. A 52 is one step hotter than a 42. The second number is the tip. A 2 denotes a power tip extension that is self cleaning. PS, Hans....REAL FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS USE GM PARTS IN THEIR FORDS! ------------------
