My understand is that there is only one AC plug for that head. Any 96-99 350 Vortec truck/Suburban. I think they are Platinum and come pre-gapped.

Spark-plug style: 14 mm, ¾-inch reach, tapered seat

Spark plug: AC R44TS, AC R44LTS, AC Rapid Fire #8 RS12YC Champion, Autolite 104 or 26, ACCEL 516, Bosch HR10B or HR10BX, HR9DC


Gap will depend on ign system

I run AC Delco R45TS with no problem. If I remember correctly, I gaped them at 0,045''. If you run in temp over 100 degrees, you could run R44TS as they are colder plugs. Not a problem here in Quebec. :D
