Look us up in Welcome Wagon for backstory. Found some damaged and basically old plug wires on the 440 6bbl, ordered a Blue Max set from Summit, figured if im gonna change the wires, given their condition, might as well put new plugs in. Any advice or opions on type, brand etc? Mild mods to engine, nothing drastic. Thanks.

I've run Champion RJ12YC in my 70 Challenger 383 for years with no problems. Usually re-gap them every 10,000 miles and replace them every 30,000 miles.

Here comes the spark plug debate lol. I've used many, currently running Autolite 85s in my 440-6pack with no issues.

I'm running the Champions in my 440 with no issues at all, but I have had a few people tell me they prefer the Autolites
