47' 248ci Spark Plug recommendations

[Frank Tedesco]

Hello Everyone, The book calls for AC 48 plugs. Without resorting to Bobs, Kanter ect., can anyone recommend a plug that can be bought locally?

I've searched these forums without much luck.

Thanks in advance, Frank

It's really worth it to find the AC plugs...for some reason, Champion always recommends plugs that are WAY hotter than normal, like 5+ steps too hot, in the auto parts stores' guides. This was the case with my Corvair and Special. So, at any rate, since the ACs are a known quantity and that's the factory recommendation, I'd stick with it.

Try Rockauto...their prices are reasonable and they also list the part number if you choose to compare locally. Autolite plugs have given me good service in my Buicks.

I'll order the AC 48's. I have been using Autolite 86 plugs. I'm overdue for a complete tune-up. I need to determine recent fuel fouling plugs. I searched the forums and have many things to check. Thanks for the responses.
