Spark plug opinions for 215 6 cylinder?
I've been using Autolite 216 plugs in my '52 with a 215.
Stock carburetor, Pertronix ignition, still 6V positive ground. Runs great.
It gets moved in and out of the shop every day, and this causes the plugs to foul now and again -now that its gotten colder outside. I have a wall mounted plug cleaner, and cleaning them works fine- but it's a chore if I just want to run to the parts store quickly.
Anybody use another plug?
Thanks!

It's fuel fouling.
Start up cold- 60 F in the shop- pump gas pedal 3X pull choke out 1/4 of travel and push button- starts right up, usually I try to push the choke in as soon as its running smoothly- I have to rev it up a bit to start the generator charging- then back out of shop and park it.
Late in the day- 45 F outside, same drill- pull into shop and disconnect battery.
After cleaning the plugs today, I did lean out the mixture screw about 1 full turn, test drove it 6 miles and seemed to run fine.
