I have a '54 235 also and just picked up a set of ACDelco R45 at Napa. My understanding is, these will be right for daily driving.

J-8 is the equivelant of r45 but i like to use the extended tip plugs in OHV engines.Like r45S They run cleaner & are closer to the combustion.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
