Title: 1969 396-375 AC Plug
Post by: 69z28fan on June 26, 2019, 11:37:42 PM

Can someone tell me what the correct plugs are for a 1969 396-375. Will R43xls work in this motor?

R43 is the correct plug for iron heads. Not sure what R43XLS is, but the R43XL is used with aluminum heads. XL stands for extra long threads.

Made a mistake. R43 is a 302 spark plug. R43N is the correct plug for 396/375 with iron heads. R43XL is for aluminum heads.
