Vintage AC Spark Plugs
 
I am looking for some help form GM guys with some AC Spark Plugs I have.

My Uncle past away and left an inventory of old vintage spark plugs from most likely the 70's. Most are Ford Autolite variety but some are AC green stripe

Fire Ring 44
Fire Ring 44S
Fire Ring 45
Fire Ring 46N

This is what I have, any info on what they would be used with and are they at all desirable for use by todays standards?

Most info I have found, these were discontinued years ago.

Thanx in advance!

44,44S and 45 are pretty much smallblock Chevy plugs. The 46N is for 62-70? 6cyl Chevys.

Some of those might be of great interest to muscle car purists, especially old Corvette guys who are often extreme on original parts.

Billy's right on the money, above. The 302 Z28s specified 43 heat range, but it almost always proved to be too cold, so many Z28 owners migrated to 44 (for occasional WOT blasts) or even 45 plugs (for low-speed idling/cruising). Same story for Corvettes with engines like 327/365. Somebody will want them.

Thanx guys!

I appreciate the help! I have very limited GM knowledge.

I'll try and check with the Camaro and Vette crowd forums
