74 vert

I have bought a mallory unilite, mallory coil and mallory wires for by 74 with tack drive. my question is what type of spark plugs should I run with this set-up? :confused:

:skep: come on forum dudes, I guess I'll call mallory, they sold me everything else :thumbs:

I wouldn't think a spark plug change would be necessary when changing from points to an electronic distributor. The set-up you are going with is better management of spark, but nothing that should make you change from GM's original recommendations for plugs.

I went from dual points to a Mallory Unilite years ago on a '69 vette and spark plugs were not even a thought.

Maybe others will disagree.

;) ok, thanks, my mallory stuff is still in the boxes, I'll check the plugs when I do the distributor, wire and coil change and drive it. :auto: :steering:

I've run Unilites for years. Use good spirol wires and something like a MSD Blaster II coil with a "B" resistor. Hook it up to the ported vacuum line.

Oiling is important so set the dist. So plug # 1 near your 7:30 oclock from the front looking at the fire wall at initial 12 degees or what ever.

I hate ttt the top when there is such a wealth of ideas out there.

I not always right:) you guys have to help them.

I've been on the forum since near day one and I've met some of the nicest Vetters in the world. I've gone to races and events with them. I also Invited people over to my house and go 165 over mph with guys on the internet. :flag

I always run platinum Plugs. You have to figure out the heat range.

I always try every new thing. Like spite fire etc....... The 4 tip Bosche plat. are the best thing I ever found. because you don't have to index the plug.

I have to admit i have never tried the new Ird. tips. Maybe you can tell me what's better!:)
