AC Delco R43 Spark Plugs

[Chevy454]

Problem is, Delco doesn't make their plugs any more...simply repackages them...wanna say they're made by the same place that makes Champion plugs? The side cut Autolites work ok. When we messed with plugs on the dyno, my beloved AC's were horrible...no matter of the heat range, they all SUCKED...stuck in an NGK, and I've never looked back...

Here's some plug info I posted a while back:

I appreciate the information on the plugs, I wasn't 100% sure they what they were for. I'm not going to use them myself because I'm happy with the Autolites. I may just list them on Ebay but if anyone can use them, pm me.

I use the NGK's also. Always used the older R44S Delco's but Rob (these young guys) made me switch. The R43's will probably do pretty good on Ebay.
