Default Edelbrock Performer Heads Spark Plug
My recently acquired Edelbrock Performer Heads data sheet recommends Champion RC12YC plugs..??...are these not for lawn mowers and garden tractors??

Is there a better plug to use?

Thanks

They're fine plugs. The same plugs are recommended for the Patriot aluminum heads I put on my car. Runs great, no problems at all.

That's what I run in my Edelbrock heads. They run fine and the price is right.

Apparently, Briggs and Stratton like to use the same plugs as Jags and Aston Martins.......
