Default AC Delco equivalent spark plug

Looking for AC Delco part number for Champion RC-12YC spark plug. Edelbrock recommends running Champion plug.

I don't like to run Champion in my lawn mower, let alone the Vette

Default Champion RC-12YC is a cold plug.

Try AC Delco R_43T(S - for extended tip, makes it act like a little hotter plug) or R_44T(S). That Champion RC-12YC doesn't like to run when cold - only once eng is good and hot. U could try Champion RC-14YC as the next step hotter.
