What plug to use Mopar 500 gas motor?

Autolite



.

it has been many years since I ran gas that I simply don't recall what plug number I used. I am thinking J 12 Y champion but hoping some one has info so I can fire it up.

what cylinder head is on the engine?

Iron heads do use the short reach plugs like the J12Y. I'm not sure about the TF or Indy but I know that Eddy heads are a long reach. So as sr4440 mentioned, which heads?

For my racecar, I used to use AR3934 and AR3933, until I switched to a comparable NGK plug. Very affordable if you buy in bulk from Advance Auto with coupon codes.

Aluminum headed 400 @ 12:1 comp, worked well with both 110 and E85.

FYI the 440-3 engine (motor home) uses a 5/8 tapered seat RV9YC. So knowing which head he has would be helpful.

NGK-XR5/3332 on "most" steel heads, NGK-4554 (5671A-8) on aluminum. These are a good choice on each given type of head.

wow, I have never seen that, that is very interesting. Show even more that the actual head style is necessary
