Spark plugs

Philip Saran · 08-24-2007, 08:42 PM

History on this car is a little vague, I bought it a month ago and everything is a learning curve. Yes this is a bracket car.

1974 Duster 383/727/4:56 the 383 is a 10 to 1 flat top motor, solid cam, 10" convertor
It had a Holley 750 DP, but when I got it that had been replaced with a 650 Holley DP.
I'm shopping for another Holley 750 DP carb for it.

Ok the plugs are Champion J12YC in it now.

Looking for recomemdations, opinions, suggestions on a good plug to try.

I made the mistake of going to my local Pepboys (somewhat better than Autozone) and
asking for a set of these plugs, of course the answer was NO GOT, how about a set of
AC Delco plugs computer says a straight match up.

I use Denso W16P-U in my 383 and 440 engines.I also use Accel,but I cannot remember the number on them.The Accel plugs are made by Denso.The W16P-U is equal to a Champion J-11-Y.

in the first place.
