AC-R45S is the correct plug for that engine. The s is for extended tip. It is a better plug then the recest tip originally used. In the late 50,s the extended tip plug was invented & most auto makers went to them. They cannot be used on flat head engines though. The R is for resistor plugs.

The stock spark plug for a 235 was AC-44 for regular (non-Ethanol) gasoline.
Today:
AC-R43S = colder range spark plug
AC-R45S = hotter range spark plug
Which one is best for your engine depends on which gasoline type you plan to run.
Ethanol generates more heat than non-Ethanol.

It seems that I read somewhere that you should not use the R45S plugs in a 235 because they extend farther than the old R44 and can burn a hole in the piston. But they’re okay for the 216. Those are what I am using in my 216. Anyone care to shine a little light on the subject and either confirm or dispel?

I chose the R43's, most of my driving is with the engine running high cruising RPM's, that's why I went with the colder plug.
