Default Re: AC Delco R43 Spark Plugs

Problem is, Delco doesn't make their plugs any more...simply repackages them...wanna say they're made by the same place that makes Champion plugs? The side cut Autolites work ok. When we messed with plugs on the dyno, my beloved AC's were horrible...no matter of the heat range, they all SUCKED...stuck in an NGK, and I've never looked back...

Here's some plug info I posted a while back:

XR4 / 5858
XR5 / 3332
