Recommendation on plug for SC'd 496BB?
Running an AR3933 with the cut back electrode, kinda worried the D1r may be putting out the 'candle' and am thinking of trying a standard type plug. Plugs are for a flat top pistoned, AFR 335 head combo
Thanks

Hmm. I'm not familiar with a plug like that. The side electrode is 'cut back' real short then and can't be adjusted?
Usually about 0.035" is recommended on a plug 2-heat ranges colder than a stock plug.

heres a pic http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Autol...4506.m20.l1116
It looks in that pic that the negative strap comes over the center but it doesnt. Definitely not enough to actually gap

Try a Zex power racer series plug (available from Summit). I went to a Zex and have not had any fowling problems. Copper core with nickel coat. They stay quite clean. I had alot of problems with NGK. I'm running 0.035" gap. App... (97ss 383 D1 M6 - 15psi). Also, I run a MSD 6A with a MSD 8202 coil and a manual timing adjust box. No timing retard... 34* advance with MAP > 100 kpa. HTH B.

You can gap them calvin. I've run the AR plugs on my 383 from time to time. I can see spark blow out if that is the gap your running. There a little tricky to gap, but you can. Like the others have stated, i'd close it up to .035 and start tightening up from there. Are you having problems with it cutting out as it gets up in the rpm's and boost? If so, then that sounds like its getting blown out. I liked the AR plugs, problem is that they wear out fast, so don't run them too long or the gaps will get huge and you'll be back to square one.
