I read a lot of the old posts about plugs. My 1956. 235 used R44 spark plugs. No longer available what is everyone using for that motor today??

There might not be a need for resistor plugs.
Do you have a radio? 6v/12?
What plugs are you using now? Do they produce interference with other devices (cell phones, maybe)?

The original was AC 44-5 plug

Rj12yc is the Champion resister (the old number was rj12y). You can also use a rj14yc if you think a slightly hotter plug is needed. The non resistor is j12yc and j14yc.

If my memory serves me correctly there was AC43, 44, 45, 46. All interchangeable, with the 43 being the coldest to the 46 being the hottest. Any good parts store can get you spark plugs for a Stovebolt 6. If you are going for a concourse restoration you can get new old stock through eBay or the automotive swap meets.🛠

I use AC R44SX. They are what Tom Langdon recommended with the HEI distributor.
