plugs
Re: plugs
I've always had good luck with Autolite 64'S and 65'S. As long as your heat range is right you should be ok with whatever.

So what's wrong with setting beneath a single pull string incandescent light bulb writing angry letters?

Re: plugs
Are you familiar with what to use when installing headers? I've heard of "shorty" plugs for that application, but I don't know what part numbers work.

Re: plugs
I think with Autolite the last number, "4", dictates the heat range. 5 or 6 would be a hotter plug. I have had headers on all mine. They point to the center away from the headers anyway. Rather than type a lot Heres a link to read.

Re: plugs
So, what plugs should I use for the Sweptline I'm trying to restore? Preferably something based in Europe, although I'd be willing to order something from the USA if needed (I'd like to avoid it, I can afford it, but many ConUS sellers won't ship abroad, and it's ridiculous to spend more on postage than on the actual item)
The thing is that I was thinking of buying this house in Kassandreia, Greece and spend my free time, and earlier on, retirement there, and I figured it'd be great if I could bring my grandfather's Dodge back to life by then and drive it under the Mediteranean sun.

Re: plugs
If you don’t care about originality, then just crossover the part number to what MM suggested. Otherwise, get your credit card out.

Re: plugs
Okay, thanks! I'll se if I can tweak more common plugs then, and see if I can avoid shelling big bucks for an original part that WILL be order and may not be as reliable.
