Guys - Thanks for the input. I was going to ask about the plugs. Adam, I'm using AC Delco R45's right now. I asked the local auto store for the standard plug for a 54 235 and that's what they gave me. Since we are getting into warmer weather, will a hotter plug make much of a difference at this point? Also, if I do use a hotter plug, will I need to change the timing or carb settings?
