Spark Plug Question?

Richard E.

I am rounding 3rd on my resto of my '50C6 sedan, the "Queen of the Road," or "Queenie" as she is known in our chapter and I have a question re: spark plugs? I had Champion RH10C plugs on it when I tore it down. I have six brand new Champion J8C plugs on my shelf, are these a correct replacement plug? The engine is a 262 cu in narrow block that has been completely rebuilt and is running a two barrel carb.

I will post pictures later. Muchos gracias!

The J8C's will work, but you will have to stick with them from now on, as the thread is slightly shorter, so the remaining thread in the head will coke up, and you won't be able to get the original H10's to screw right home. The J8C is used widely in lawn mowers and similar small engines, "C" stands for copper core. They are slightly cooler running than H10.

I have always used Champion plugs in my Hudsons. What are you using for the H-11 in the Hornets now that they are unavailable????
