Default Spark plug choice

Hello all, just finishing up a top end upgrade on my '77' and noticed that Edelbrock recommendes Champion RC12YC spark plugs for their Performer Heads. 14mm 3/4" reach gasketed seat. Ok I look it up and thats a tractor plug. Anyone use these? if so what gap? Sometimes its the little things, thanks for the help.

I'm running the Edelbrock RPM heads also. Been running the recommended Champion RC12YC plugs over 8 years/many miles now with no problems. Cheap enough to change every couple of years. I'm running mine gapped at .040 with the MSD 6AL.
