Default what spark plugs

I'm using Bosch plugs , with a edelbrock 600 cfm carb, have the carb leaned out as much as possible and it still runs rich.. I want to change the plugs to a hotter range.. What would be a good brand and number plug to use?

Hotter than what? Changing plugs will not help a carb problem.

Yea like Glen said, plugs are not going to cure a rich issue. Is the engine stock or modified? A 600 won't make you rich unless it's screwed up somehow.

Plugs aren't the problem.
