These work good for me (either type).

Try the NGK Iridium plugs - I have them in all my cars including my 67 BB and they are awesome.

Most plugs work well in our engines. I stay away from plugs with screw on terminals (like Bosch) as the terminal has a bad habit of coming loose. I've tried NGK, Autolite, AC and Champion and all work fine, no difference as far as I can tell. I also stick to regular copper plugs. They are easy enough to change that the added cost of long life (platinum/iridium) is not worth it.

Went with what the General had in her to start with. The problem I`m running into now is header clearance. I have none. Accels were in the car. I suppose because they ere shorter, but only by about 1/4 inch. So I suppose I place a little heat resistant material between the header and the wire cap(where it touches). This only happens on number 3,5 and 6. I need a special tool to get in and tighten the plugs up. Any ideas? Cause a normal plug socket just ain`t gettin it.

As I stated in the original post the engine is a 1980 L82 SB. They are 90 degrees spark plug boots. The problem is my Hedman headers. Make the plugs hard to access without loosening the header bolts. I can get the boots on...its just hard to tighten the plugs themselves.
