    Spark plug for BBC Square Port Heads?

     



    Engine: Gen VI 454 Magnum

    Local speed shop set me up with NGK BR6FS plugs.

    Does that sound right?

    I gapped them at .40 thousands for use with MSD 7AL

    They're going in kind of hard? Maybe due to some spray paint on threads on head when engine was painted?

    I used autolite 105's and had the same problem, threads in the heads need a cleanup.

    Grease up a tap and run it through, the grease will hold the small amount of crap you'll get.

    Must be a problem with Gen VI heads.

    Buying parts I don't need, with money I don't have, to impress people I don't like
