It's time to change plugs.
1967 , 289, C4, Autolite 4100 4bbl., Pertronix ignition module, A/C, otherwise stock.
I could use your opinions on:
What's the best plug (A.C. Delco, NGK, Autolite, etc.)
What's the correct plug number
What's the correct gap
I am currently running A.C.Delco R83TS plugs with a gap of .034. I didn't touch the gap when I installed the pertronix.
Car seems to be running fine---I was just wondering if I should stay with this set-up.
Thanks,
Jay67fast

Motorcraft BSF-42 or Autolie #45 plugs gapped at .035.
Never use AC plugs in anything.
Set timing at 10-12 @600 RPM with vacuum advance disconnected.------------------
