    Spark Plug Choice

    Has anyone found a spark plug similar to the NGK BCR8ES, but one heat range hotter? The 8's load up with soot when driving around town in slow stop and go traffic. My car's engine has GN1 P&P heads, 9.5:1CR, 224/224 cam, 6766, etc. The NGK BCPR7ES looks close, but is not non projected.

    My Buick 109 stockblock has pistons with valve reliefs shaped for M&A head valves. Is the valve location of TA aluminum heads similar enough to the M&A head to allow using TA heads instead of M&A on this block? Thanks
