    Post spark plugs

    what is the best plug for windsor sr. cast iron heads i have tried ngk and autolight plugs when i tried to cross reference at the local parts store they suggested autolight 23's ,runs very rough with these ,they did not have any one step colder. The ngk's were # 7's . Plus with an ignition such as an MSD is plug gapping as critical? "they" recomended setting the 23's at .50 stock gap,but it doesnt idle as crisply as before .

    More than likely YES. In supercharger application opening the gap does nothing for performance and even with a MSD the spark will blow out.

    What is the full part number of the plug? I'm running these same plugs on my 393 but they are not gasket plugs. They are tapered seat.
    89 Coupe with parts stacked inside of it and about 30#'s of dust on it with no end in sight. :weird:





    Although I am collecting parts for a 12.5:1 393 :D
