What car are you using the 43-5 on? The 43-5 were not the plugs that were hard to find. The 43-5R is the plug used on a 55. I only came across a dozen of them in ten years. Jeff Salz was the only person who had them in the past and it's been years since he had any at Bloomington Gold or Carlisle. Jeff stated that it was the AC43-5 and not the AC43-5COM plugs that were on the 55 corvette.

John, I need them for my '55 Corvette. The JM stipulates 43-5R COM plugs. You are thinking non COM plugs (43-5R) are correct? Do you think a non resistor 43-5 plug is acceptable for NCRS? You might remember me, I bought some parts from you last summer, and came to your house to pick them up.
