Default 75 with Vortec 350

My vette has a 96-00 crate Vortec 5.7L 350 Gen 1 engine. My question is spark plugs. Do I get spark plugs for the 96-00 (which is FI) my vette has a carb. Does it matter? or do I get plugs for a 75 5.7L 350?
Thanks

You definitely want the Vortec spark plug it has a different reach than the 1975 plugs.Don't waste your money on funky triple tip titanium core gold plated enriched porcelain magic plugs,just your standard AC Delco ones will do just fine.

I have the GM aluminum Vortec heads and headers. I went with the Autolite 106's and I'm very happy with them.
