Best spark plugs for SC engine

#1 Post by Harry Fahnestock »

My 1965 356C had the engine replaced some time ago and I don't have that information but it is said to have been replaced with a more powerful SC engine. What are recommendations for spark plugs. The car is operated at 4500' to 5500' altitude.
Thank you

Harry The plugs Bob uses should be fine. You may however have to change jetting for your altitude. Here is what carb rescue says: http://www.356carburetorrescue.com/altitude.html
