Spark Plug Question?

    I am rounding 3rd on my resto of my '50C6 sedan, the "Queen of the Road," or "Queenie" as she is known in our chapter and I have a question re: spark plugs? I had Champion RH10C plugs on it when I tore it down. I have six brand new Champion J8C plugs on my shelf, are these a correct replacement plug? The engine is a 262 cu in narrow block that has been completely rebuilt and is running a two barrel carb.

    I will post pictures later. Muchos gracias!

    If the RH10C is the correct plug (?), the following are equivalent -

    NGK: B4L
    Accel: 166
    AC Delco: 46F,C43L
    Autolite: 225
    Bosch: WR8EC
    Champion: RH10C
    Denso: W14L
    Mighty: M4E4
    Motorcraft: AS4C
    Napa: X526
    Prestolite: 14L9
    Splitfire: SM021F

    Here's an online conversion for equivalent spark plugs from different manufacturers -

    The J8C's will work, but you will have to stick with them from now on, as the thread is slightly shorter, so the remaining thread in the head will coke up, and you won't be able to get the original H10's to screw right home. The J8C is used widely in lawn mowers and similar small engines, "C" stands for copper core. They are slightly cooler running than H10.
    If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

    I have always used Champion plugs in my Hudsons. What are you using for the H-11 in the Hornets now that they are unavailable????
